Google Pays $8.5 million to Buzz Privacy Lawsuits PDF Print E-mail
Written by Users Idea   
Tuesday, 07 September 2010
Google introduced their very first social networking app sometime ago, and this particular app hit a snag, whereby Buzz users sued Google for privacy users. In fact, the respective Buzz social networking platform shared Buzz user’s private information without their consent, which was the core argument for the lawsuit.

Nevertheless, Google is now agreeing to pay $8.5 million in order to make the Buzz privacy lawsuit go away. Of course, Google wants to settle the respective matter out of court, and they hope that $8.5 million would be sufficed to cover the damages caused by the privacy issue. However, a large sum of the money won’t be handed out to Gmail users, as bulk of the money would be channeled to organization which are mainly focused on Internet privacy policy.

Of course, Google has already revamped their Privacy Policy, and I believe this would surely shield them from future lawsuits, don’t you think so?
