Is the Google Math Club Socially Challenged?
November 10, 2010
I was wondering if anyone else got a pesky e-mail from Google. In “Google Buzz Was An $8.5-Million Disaster. Why Can’t Google Do Social?” , we learn simply that Internet empires like Google can invade millions of people’s privacy and get away with nothing but a slap on the wrist. I read:
It seems like the hot trend right now for tech companies that make privacy mistakes is to settle with a big payment to set up an educational fund.
Eight and a half million dollars is chump change to a corporation as big as Google. And to top it off, they’ve not had to pay out anything to anyone who was affected by the problem. Google Buzz has assaulted the privacy of its users, now they are responsible for ‘educating’ users about privacy on the internet. Does this NOT make sense to anyone else?
Hello! Wasn’t it the users who discovered their privacy was being invaded? Google didn’t catch that one right off the bat. I remember high school. There were some socially challenged folks there. Math Club? Yep, Math Club.
