Privacy Group Files FTC Complaint On Google Buzz

A complaint has been filed with the Federal Trade Commission alleging Google Buzz violates federal consumer protection laws. I’m pretty sure this isn’t the "buzz" that Google was looking for when it launched the service last week.

Since launching Google Buzz as part of Gmail a week ago, the search company has come under fire for automatically creating public circles of friends for users based on their most frequent Gmail contacts. Over the weekend, Google altered the service to merely suggest contacts for its users' social networks.
