OT for gmail users
Got this message from my son-in-law, the computer expert:
"Just an important heads up - if you use Gmail, Google recently turned on a new Gmail feature called "Google Buzz" without even giving you the option to turn it off or clearly explain it. It's something akin to Twitter - but the problem is that it violates SERIOUS privacy laws by exposing your contact list, e-mails of your address book, and shows you who is following you, who you follow and making that information available to anyone else. Needless to say this is undesired and unwaranted by most people. Read more about the violation of privacy laws he http://redtape.msnbc.com/2010/02/epi...retap-law.html To turn off Google Buzz: Scroll to the very bottom of Gmail - in very tiny font letters at the middle of the page is an option to "turn off google buzz". Please pass this on to anyone else you may know who uses Gmail. Google has to fix these privacy concerns - unless of course you don't mind your contact list and e-mails of contacts being available to everyone else. ;-)" Roberta in D |
