n*****s 发帖数: 10232 | 1 Google rarely contacts Gmail users via email, but we are making an exception
to let you know that we've reached a settlement in a lawsuit regarding
Google Buzz http://buzz.google.com, a service we launched within Gmail in February of this year.
Shortly after its launch, we heard from a number of people who were
concerned about privacy. In addition, we were sued by a group of Buzz users
and recently reached a settlement in this case.
The settlement acknowledges that we quickly changed the service to address
users' concerns. In addition, Google has committed $8.5 million to an
independent fund, most of which will support organizations promoting privacy
education and policy on the web. We will also do more to educate people
about privacy controls specific to Buzz. The more people know about privacy
online, the better their online experience will be.
Just to be clear, this is not a settlement in which people who use Gmail can
file to receive compensation. Everyone in the U.S. who uses Gmail is
included in the settlement, unless you personally decide to opt out before
December 6, 2010. The Court will consider final approval of the agreement on
January 31, 2011. This email is a summary of the settlement, and more
detailed information and instructions approved by the court, including
instructions about how to opt out, object, or comment, are available at http://www.BuzzClassAction.com. |
