Mountain View's lawyers can collectively breathe a sigh of relief, as the FTC has accepted an
earlier proposal relating to Buzz's numerous privacy violations. The service -- which already
settled one suit and is scheduled for
rendezvous with the grim reaper -- was singled out by the commission for misleading users by partially opting them in, even after they had explicitly declined to do so. As punishment, Google will be required to field yearly audits from an independent party for the next twenty years (!). Don't mess with the
law government, kids.
