Page Content

After that some users have been complaining, including according to law in the US, Google Buzz have just got a new setup page.

Buzz users can now see a screen to validate their settings, and they can confirm or change settings for personal information they share via Buzz.
Much like Facebook's privacy settings, this control page will determine who can follow the account, data dissemination, links with Picasa or Twitter, etc.
Remember that a few weeks ago, the U.S. Congress gave the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) the responsability of investigating on Buzz and its alleged violation of users'privacy.
