Ten House Members sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission requesting that they pursue an investigation into the Google social networking service Buzz, given “Google’s practice of automatically using consumers’ e-mail address books to create contact lists for Buzz and then publicly disclosing the names of those private contacts” online. The lawmakers also asked the Commission to consider the privacy implications of Google’s proposed acquisition of AdMob, the mobile phone advertising company. EPIC has filed a complaint and supplement with the FTC, asking the Commission to investigate Google Buzz. The privacy implications of the Google Buzz out may continue to play out for people who used the service for professional purposes such as: undercover law-enforcement officers, lawyers, doctors, contractors, which have not been fully explored.
