Confirm your Buzz Setup





If your a regular user of Google Buzz on Monday you would have been asked or rather reminded by Google Buzz that you need to look at your privacy settings and confirm that all is well. Google Buzz wants to be doubly sure that backlash because of their privacy settings do not crop up again. Users should not be taken by surprise  and find that private stuff their shared was actually in public mode. 




The system suggests users to follow and also the ability to block people from following you. 




The Federal Trade Commission has criticized Google's approach and members of Congress have recently called for an investigation into Google Buzz and the privacy fiasco, which might have prompted the move to make sure every Buzz user understands their privacy options. 





Google Buzz wants every individual to be made aware of their privacy options and this prompt may become a regular feature asking people to confirm their privacy settings and make sure that they are happy with the options.
