Google’s Buzz application has unleashed editorials and flame wars around the U.S amid privacy concerns. At least it picked a name appropriate for the current backlash. Google however may wind up regretting how it launched Buzz, with significant legal and ethical concerns on the horizon. Google also faces severe criticism on how it deals with customer privacy that may tarnish that image that will require considerable repair.
The U.S. government may also have to act. As this product launch unfolded, the buzz turned ugly very quickly. Google may have few if any options but get hung out to dry and wind up being monitored with big brother oversight over how it manages and processes privacy practices.
Good news!
