: Lenz BlogGoogle Fail
By Karl-Friedrich Lenz
That’s the heartwarming headline for this Sullivan post, pointing to a BBC story about the latest privacy disaster from the Evil Spam Empire.
Google has multiple users for their Gmail service. Now they have added some new functionality called “Buzz” which allows people to share content.

Google has apologized and is working on correcting the problem.
