A lot of problems with privacy in Google Buzz. The good thing is that Google is learning very quickly and changing the rules. The other good thing is that when Google Buzz will arrive in Google Apps, we can hope that privacy problems will be solved. The bad thing is that they could have anticipated all these problems...

Interesting section on privacy. Is Zuckerberg naive? Or are we going really towards a non private world?

It says here that "...contracts between Google and its customers guarantee user privacy." Do we have a copy of the contract or the end user agreement? There will be more people concerned about that and I would like to see what it says.

terms and conditions: http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/terms/user_terms.html and privacy policy: http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/terms/user_privacy.html the first time you register, you have also validated global terms and conditions for Google Apps usage

Interesting

I like the CaaS label

This is a very interesting article, thx. It's good to see a positive and proactive action from lawyers in this field. It will help the cloud computing community to be more accurate about security and privacy problems in a legal perspective.

Very good presentation about the future of Social Networks. Fully agree with the vision, we are telling it also for a few years.

Google is on the good path, showing to FaceBook what should be a fair policy about data interaction. All datas in Google exportable, data liberation project team is aware of this, providing APIs to all the services of Google to extract at any time any data stored in Google services. It is not the case of other mayor players like FaceBook from which any data entered couldn't be exported, the most important being the social graph. Users should not accept this.

the problem of privacy on the largest social network still arises!!!

Faut-il arrêter d'utiliser FaceBook ? La question semble de plus en plus pertinente.

Google se fait donc juge et partie pour la question de la rétention des données.

C'est une démarche importante de la part de Google, et fondamentale pour l'avenir du cloud computing. Et donc pour l'adoption ou non par les entreprises du concept
