MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – A local man has filed a class action law suit against search giant Google after its new social networking service Buzz exposed his up until now unknown participation in bestiality circles. Frank Dean, a ‘dedicated’ veterinarian from New Mexico, is said to be feeling “extremely let down” at the lack of privacy that made his animal love contacts viewable to friends and family.
“Out of the blue this thing just shows everyone who you’ve been emailing. I didn’t ask for this, It’s outrageous!” said Mr Dean after discovering that Google Buzz automatically broadcasts contacts, a feature that has since been removed in light of reaction from technology journalists and perverts alike.
A Google spokesperson offered an apology to Mr Dean, no longer a Buzz user. “We wish to express our sincerest apologies to Mr Dean For the lapse in our standard testing procedures that led to this use case being overlooked”. Google will likely seek to avoid court proceedings by settling with the disgruntled plaintiff, most likely with a years free subscription to ‘Velvet Moo’ magazine.
Friends and family are said to be shocked that Mr Dean’s privacy was exposed in this way. “Where does it end? Just thinking how easily they exposed Frank you makes me glad I still use AOL mail. This could’ve been Mike’s secret drug addiction or Jerry’s affair with that escort lady coming out. It’s just not worth it you know?”
Technology journalists have continued to pan the service for being blind to privacy issues that have recently troubled other social networks. “How could they overlook this?!” said one Silicone Valley insider, “They say they did internal testing but obviously no one at Google is into bestiality otherwise they would have found this before release.”
