Excerpt from 'The Buzz...':

Marking the first time the Federal Trade Commission has required a company to implement a comprehensive privacy program, the agency entered into a proposed settlement with Google over its Buzz social networking feature.

Last February Google launched Buzz to instant criticism. When originally presented, Buzz was automatically added to all users of Gmail, Google’s e-mail system. The program then turned users’ frequent e-mail contacts into followers and made photos and information public by default.
