Does that depend on how many people's previosly private information is now available to abusive ex-partners?

Some people will use Buzz to announce their previously private information to the world, knowing they have abusive ex-partners. Others will stab themselves in the face with a nice pen. Neither Google nor Montblanc is to blame.



I think the question is, did the person make the previously private information available more widely, or did Google (or Facebook, or whoever else controls the big database and previously implied that access to that data would be restricted)?


Agreed.
