Earlier today, FTC commissioner Pamela Jones Harbour cited Google Buzz's "irresponsible conduct" at launch as an example of how companies are being too careless with consumer privacy and online data.The remarks were made at a public roundtable on privacy related matters hosted by the FTC, where Harbour made it clear that the FTC can and will take an active interest in protecting consumer privacy."The Commission will unfailingly step in to protect consumers where we believe the law has been violated, and that includes violations relating to privacy promises," she said.The commissioner's remarks echo the sentiments of researcher Danah Boyd during her SXSW keynote, and the infuriated Gmail users who felt exposed when they were involuntarily following or being followed by their frequent e mail contacts per the algorithm of Google Buzz's original auto follow feature.Google has since made major tweaks to Buzz, but Harbour believes the misfire is a symptom of a greater problem.
