Can you step me through this worst-case situation you're thinking of? People's most-emailed contacts being auto-added to their buzz stream doesn't count.

  > People's most-emailed contacts being auto-added to their buzz stream doesn't count. Does that depend on how many people's previosly private information is now available to abusive ex-partners? Is it OK in this case, because so far only one person has come forward and exposed that threat? What if it happened to 10 people? 100? 1,000,000?

    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.
