Google Buzz Privacy Flaw Snags Another Victim: White House Deputy CTO Andrew McLaughlin
by Capitol ConfidentialIt’s been several weeks now since the disastrous rollout of Google Buzz’s initial social networking platform. It was on February 9ththat Google Buzz unleashed its newest foray into social media to compete with the likes of Facebook and Twitter.
According to a post on Google’s Official Blog at the time, Buzz was touted as a service that was built “right into Gmail, so you don’t have to peck out an entirely new set of friends from scratch… Buzz brings this network to the surface by automatically setting you up to follow the people you email with and chat with the most.”
And therein lies the problem… Almost immediately, Buzz was lambasted for taking huge liberties with Gmail users’ privacy. By default, the Gmail contacts of each new Buzz user were made publicly available in their Google profiles for the world to see. The Buzz-o-sphere even included “follow” links, which meant that any prying snoop could harvest the contact lists of other Buzz users as well.
Well, now we’ve learned that one of those who apparently got swept up in the Buzz privacy imbroglio was none other than Andrew McLaughlin, the controversial Deputy Chief Technology Officer in the Obama White House who was formerly Google’s top lobbyist.
McLaughlin works in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and is in charge of all Internet policy for the Administration. The two key components of OSTP’s mission are the creation of an “Open and Transparent Democracy”, and ironically, “Safeguarding the Privacy of Every American” by … “holding businesses accountable for violations of personal privacy.” (More on this in a moment.)
McLaughlin’s Buzz profile (which he quickly made private after his contacts were exposed) is enlightening to say the least. It includes a treasure trove of movers and shakers in high-tech, Internet public policy, and venture capital circles.
But it includes much, much more. At least 28 of the folks Google Buzz pulled from McLaughlin’s Gmail contact list are employed by…Google! And, as you can see from the screenshots below (captured before he made his contact lists private) McLaughlin’s Gmail appears to include a “who’s who” of Google senior lobbyists and lawyers from across the globe:
This is significant because when McLaughlin was named deputy chief technology officer in June of 2009, his appointment raised eyebrows. Fortune Magazine’s article Obama & Google (a love story) pointed out that in his previous role, McLaughlin championed Google’s policy goals. The article pointed out that in his new position as Deputy CTO, “he’s now in a position to shape policy that affects Google’s rivals.”
So, is he now shaping such policy by conferring outside of official White House email channels with the scads of Google lobbyists in his Gmail list? Who’s to say. After all, it’s not necessarily unreasonable for McLaughlin to be communicating with his former friends and colleagues at Google. Heck, it’s even possible that these are old Gmail contacts that he’s no longer in touch with, now that he’s a (ahem) “G-man” whose salary is paid by the taxpayers.
But there are some interesting clues that this isn’t the case. Check out this series of posts by McLaughlin directly to the Google Buzz development team after he signed up for the service inquiring about how he can communicate privately with his Gmail contacts on Buzz:
Then there’s this… All those “random people” (pesky taxpayers) who McLaughlin doesn’t know and doesn’t want reading his private Buzz items.
Followed by another request for instructions to post private messages to his Google Buzz followers.
Intriguingly, the entire dialogue suggests that McLaughlin’s Buzz contact list (his Gmail contacts filled with Google lobbyists) are folks that he would like to communicate with currently – albeit privately. McLaughlin asks the Buzz development team repeatedly how he can make such postings private so he doesn’t have to share them in his public profile.
And remember that whole bit about the job of the Deputy Chief Technology Officer being responsible for “holding businesses accountable for violations of personal privacy”. Google Buzz’s privacy fiasco would surely seem to hit that sweet spot in McLaughlin’s job description. So, how did McLaughlin hold his former employer’s feet to the fire? Again, his Google Buzz postings provide an answer:
McLaughlin says that Buzz’s privacy flaws “violate my sense of expectations.” “What should I do” he asks. Turn off Buzz? “Any other ideas?” Whoa! That’s some serious “holding businesses accountable” talk there. With a former Googler holding businesses accountable for privacy violations, Eric Schmidt must be quaking in his boots!
The exceptionally close relationship between Google and the Obama Administration is no secret. But it does raise questions when Google’s former top lobbyist, now serving in the executive office of the president, is using his former employer’s private email and social networking tools (Gmail and Buzz) to communicate privately with bunches of Google lobbyists and lawyers. What are they communicating privately about? Perhaps “shaping policy that affects Google’s rivals”?
It raises additional questions when a government employee (McLaughlin) who is specifically charged with “holding businesses accountable for violations of personal privacy” is using the very tool that violated that privacy to communicate privately with the lobbyists of the company that developed the tool in the first place.
This may all be much ado about nothing of course, and perhaps McLaughlin deserves the benefit of the doubt. But were it another administration’s close relationship with a corporate supporter – GWBII and Halliburton come to mind – you can bet that there would be hell to pay.
Much more to come on this… Stay tuned.

Anyone surprised? Hell to the no! +Hanzo+
Not I Hanzo, though I am sickened by all the sneaky garbage going on in DC -
Just another reason for my decision to shun the "social networks" as well as the forwarding of chain emails.
Is Google helping Obama? Last Fall, when searching for the pending health care bill, which my senator had told me was on the web, I could not get Google to find it. Spent more than an hour searching. Tried with Yahoo and it was in the first 5 hits, same for Bing. Put in several of the sites that they came up with into Google and – NO HITS. The other sites also provided the amendments (changes made during approval) whereas Google was blank in this area.
That's why proper veting of appointees is key! And, this is why people are fed up with NObama's personal appointments and lack of veting!
This guy is an insult to all of us.
Come on NOW… these are CHICAGO HENCHMEN….. would you think anything else of a bunch of CORRUPT progreSSives???
OBALBLA, dragging this country through the mud one person at a TIME….
I was rung out last week after the OBLABLAcare issue went through… you know INCOME RE-DISTRIBUTION….
"Coincidence is the word we use when we can't see the levers and pulleys."
~ Emma Bull ~
@kasteer – What makes you think there wasn't proper vetting? This administration knows exactly who they're hiring. There lies the problem.
Looks like a great place to start a Freedom of Information Act request and an inquiry at to what government business is being conducted out side of normal governmental communictions channels..
Great reporting.
And don't forget Google's effort to smother search hits on "climategate" last winter.
I'm all in favor of techno-exposes, and have asked some tough questions (here and here) myself about the number of FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski's visits to the White House, which raise serious questions about the independence of the FCC as an independent regulatory agency from direct political pressure from the White House. But this story is a bit of a stretch for a few reasons.
First, I count about 76 names among Andrew's followers. Since I believe Google Buzz only auto-followed 24 users, it's really hard to assume that the names highlighted above of key Google people were among the ones auto-added because they were his most frequent contacts. As the article notes, it's hardly surprising that Andrew would be friends with a lot of folks at Google, since he worked there for what, five years?
Second, the article is asserting that, if these Google folks were auto-added as Andrew's top contacts, he must have been in close touch with them after becoming CTO in June. Again, he probably DID talk to them as personal friends, but my own experience with Buzz's launch and with Gmail's top contact list suggests that the "top contacts" average is based on a long time period. For those of us who've been using Gmail for many years, our "top contacts" today might not be our top contacts for the last month or even last 6 months because Gmail seems to give a lot more weight than you might think to past interactions. So that might explain why these folks would have shown up as his "top contacts" even if he hadn't been chatting with them daily about policy as the article implies. And, again, since the screenshot above was taken after he added about 52 followers (76-24), it's impossible to say which of those shown above were actually auto-followed.
Finally, I seriously doubt anyone would use Buzz as a way of chatting with their former colleagues about sensitive policy matters when doing so might raise such serious ethical questions if true.
This article seems like just another attempt to turn Googlephobia into a partisan issue…
And does anyone remember how many millions of dollars and years of grand jury testimony the Dems spent with Fitzgerald going after President Bush and ended up with Scooter Libby as their big prize take down. These diabolical goons make the Bush years seem like penny candy being swiped from the Brach’s candy bins!
I believe that these animals will start attacking each other soon…. they'll have no other choice, in that there is only so much power and money to obtain.. and, they are not going to be able to wrestle all of it away fast enough to keep freedom loving American's from fighting back
The real problem here is that he, and likely most of the Administration, is conducting official governemnt business using third-party email.
Increasinly in the private sector, most notably finance and insurance, that is 100% forbidden by the federal government. All communications must be auditable.
I suppose government communications are probably not as important to keep track of, then, eh?
It's a good thing America doesn't care about details and is too busy watching American Idol.
Really? How about you read up on it and get back to us – are you even remotely aware that this ex Google pos is in a position to dictate exactly what may or may not go on line?! Naw, he is just an innocent computer geek who is helping the President, ah huh…yep, that's got to be it ~
After all, Obamao did tell us that he would be known by the people around him.
Not surprised at all!! Very thankful though that we are getting word on these kind of scandalous issues.
We will never know "the rest of the story", but with journalists and people like Glenn Beck keeping us informed, we are armed with truth as we battle for our Constitution!
In our house, we are trying NOT to use Google as they are shills for the Dali Bama and skew results depending on what you search for.
Don't forget to include Organizing For America since one of the top guys there (David Plouffe) is a highly place administration employee.
But were it another administration’s close relationship with a corporate supporter – GWBII and Halliburton come to mind – you can bet that there would be hell to pay.
I'm confident that we can find a way to make the current administration pay, and pay dearly, for the hell being inflicted on the USA. Starting with November 2010.
But reading is so haaaaard when you've got an agenda to push.
I started dis-respecting Google when they willingly went into China and had no moral qualms in aiding and abetting their censorship of the internet at the same time they were not cooperating / fighting the Bush Patriot acts to protect the USA.
They are nothing more than just another 'progressive' and 'in-tune' with all the other Californicators.
OFF TOPIC: When it comes to secession, I take a different view. I want the rest of the US to consider 'EVICTION' of states like California who only want to drag the rest of the nation into economic / welfare state despair.
aka REPARATIONS !
Your word choice is important. The appointees HAVE been vetted. The admin wants people in who will do the job the admin wants done, so they hire the people they know to do it. The Admin is not surprised to find Marxists, Communists, tax evaders and those with conflicts of interests in these positions. They are put there deliberately, and any means to justify the end means they really don't hold the people to the standards that non-Statists do. When it came out that Van Jones was a "Truther", I am sure you noticed that idea was more damning to the man than his Communist philosophy and he had to step down. The question we might be asking is where is the press? They can Bing and Google as well as anyone to find out who these appointees are.
truth….
So, the White House Deputy CTO doesn't understand the privacy implications of the tool he's using? Sounds like he's just a little under-qualified to be CTO…but then again, it is the Obama White House we're talking about, so he'll probably fit right in with the gross incompetence we've already seen coming from that cesspool!
Something like American Idol only takes a couple of hours a week. Is that all you expect out of people, two hours to do what? It may help to have suggestions for what people can do. Personally, if I watch AI, it is because Obno has worn me thin and I need a break.
Oh please please please be right.
A scenario I used to joke about:
A 65 yr old recently retired baby-boomer goes to the nursing home to see if his 85 yr old father will give him a loan so that he can help his 45 yr old son get an apartment and move out of his basement.
God Bless all those Woodstock Nation people who now run our government!!!
Gmail adds pretty much everyone you've ever contacted into your contacts list… I've never used Buzz, but I think they just all the contacts into it… I'm not sure there is anything here… unless you have more, which you point to at the end…
Is Google helping Obama?
More than you know. The information I have read while pursuing my CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) and other security certifications would make many think twice about utilizing that search engine/gmail. To be fair, Google is not alone, but I urge caution to anyone using that search engine. Everything you "google" is archived and accessible to those in the know.
I have learned to accept the loss of privacy as fact the minute that first packet hits the router. IronKey is something to consider, never use IE as a browser and avoid Outlook as an e-mail client. I consider Avast to be among the best products available. Stay away from the social networks, if you can't, keep your kids and personal information at a minimum.
I have worked as a contract instructor teaching security classes to state Attorney/Inspector Generals offices (I won't say which state). You would be sick if I told you how much information is out there and how much knowledge those who are tasked with protecting it were lacking in regard to properly securing your personal information.
Now consider this. I have over 20 years of IT/Telecom experience and have peers who can run circles around me. This guy appears to be someone who rode the coat tails of some very talented IT professionals while positioning himself politically and has now been exposed as a poser.

>“he’s now in a position to shape policy that affects Google’s rivals.”
Who says liberals are against corporatism and crony capitalism?
Thanks. And word choice is important. That's why I said "proper veting"… because NObama and his administration isputting people in place that should never be there, …they're faux veting.
ha ha. ;^) +Hanzo+
As the EU has done, we should be able to suspend CA's voting rights. All of their Senators and Reps should just stay home until they get their finances back in arrears. No say in federal legislation. No bailouts.
Right? Just so long as it's THEIR corporations and THEIR cronies!
You would be sick if I told you how much information is out there and how much knowledge those who are tasked with protecting it were lacking in regard to properly securing your personal information.
Same with health information. I worked for one of the largest HMOs who went paperless – it's disgusting how little privacy there is now with your medical records.
I think I'll be cancelling my gmail account.
Well I guess McLaughlin got buzzed alright, just not in a good way.

I don't think people are implying that he would use Buzz as a way of chatting about sensitive policy matters, just that all those people seem to now be publicly linked to him as regular email contacts and he didn't seem very happy about it. Who knows if they were really regular recent contacts or not, but he wasn't happy about it.
He made a point to say in a roundabout way that it was a privacy violation…while he is in charge of protecting internet privacy…

Considering your credentials. Would you honestly characterize the evidence of questionable practices by Google as a "phobia"?
With respect to your association with the Foundation. Do you have any issues with the indisputable tight relationship between Google and the DNC?
Where do you stand on right to privacy in regard to medical records?
Do we forsake the right to privacy in the name of convenience when it comes to digital records? Seriously, just look at ID theft, inaccurate information reported by credit bureaus and the impact that can have on an individual. Have you ever had to go through the nightmare of dealing with those people?
All of this gets to the heart of the issue which is privacy. Where do you stand on the idea that Google could very well position itself as a "clearing house" or "information bureau" where in the future an individual is issued an ipV6 address in lieu of a SSN which is utilized in a National ID card?
That is just for starters…but I am going to guess you will take the easy way out and dismiss me as paranoid right-wing loon.
Will my nephew who was diagnosed as ADHD be denied a student loan to pursue his pilot license or admission to the Naval Academy after they check his "digital record"?
Just curious.
It may be nothing more than Google protecting itself from the Administration's hostile intentions, but once you get in bed with a dog, you're gonna get up with fleas. Obama won't be around much longer…but the fallout from this might haunt Google far into the future.
Good to see you again, my friend!
Yeah I do think he would like to use buzz to chat it up for his kick back buddies.
He's an arrogant a'ss just like every other leftist arrogant a'ss, he thinks he's too damn smart for any of the peasants to catch on.
Berin:
McLaughlin should NOT be using gmail or any other PRIVATE email to communicate to ANYONE in his official capacity. His correspondence must, by law, be available on White House mail servers.
It's not so much Googlephobia as distrust of the motives of the White House, from top to bottom.
Hey. I was just thinking earlier of getting in touch to see how you've been and what's goin' on.
I'm gonna' log on to FOC and check it out.ttyl ;^) +Hanzo+
It would be interesting to see the timestamps on these as well…is he using Buzz during work hours? Isn't that just the sort of thing Rove got in trouble for – having multiple email accounts, one of which didn't have to meet the backup and archiving requirements of the White House?

Funny you should say that…I was searching for the same thing in February and couldn't find it with Google. I figured, If you can't find it with Google than it can't be found… never would have thought about checking elsewhere. Seems like my reliance on Google will just be to check spelling errors from here on out. I'm a terrible speller!

That's an excellent point. And I would be very concerned if that's what was happening here, but what makes you think he was actually discussing policy matters in an official capacity over Gmail or Buzz? That's what the article implies but if you read closely, I think you'll see that it's just implication.
Again, it's hardly surprising that he would keep up with his former colleagues at Google as a personal matter. It's also worth noting that some of the folks highlighted above aren't at Google any longer.
What a completely nutty thing to say. On so many levels.
Remember when Sarah Palin did this? Oh, the outrage!
Everyone should change your search engine to https://ssl.scroogle.org/
It uses Google's search, but anonymizes it so Google can't backtrack to you.
Scrooooogle.
Watch who you're calling a Leftist! I work at The Progress & Freedom Foundation—which, despite that evil-sounding p-word in its name, was founded by Newt Gingrich and others back in 1993 as a way of stealing that word back from the Left and presenting free market, libertarian ideas about technology. I was a delegate candidate for Ron Paul here in DC and have been a pretty active critic of the Left.
I can appreciate the concerns about Google being close to this administration, but that doesn't mean every accusation is fair or true. Again, this story doesn't quite bear up to careful inspection.

I was referring to Andrew McLaughlin which seemed apparent since I said "use buzz to…" which was the context of the article and in response to your defense of him (andrew again just to be clear)

Gee, I'm shocked – how could that happen???
That guys account is just a small snapshot of the lobbyist crookery that is our government….by the lobbyist,for the lobbyists, to perpetuate all lobbyists…
Trust no one over 60!!
Same here, to the nth degree. +Hanzo+
What about all the east coast liberals? You need to check the maps on CA, there are an awful lot of conservative enclaves in the center of the state. Most of the liberal contingent is on the coasts and in the big cities. Maybe we should expel San Francisco and LA…
It's not nutty. Google is most definitely biased to the left. When Climategate hit, you could not pull up the term on Google but it was there at the top with Yahoo and Bing (I tried this myself)and showed my sceptical husband). I was astonished that they would be so blatant. I haven't used Google for years due to their participation in censoring information in China and I don't plan to now, even after they have finally grown a conscience and decided to pull out. Liberals love to fantasize about being victims of a "police state" when a Republican is president but have no qualms actually cooperating with a real one.
I believe Al Gore is on the board of directors of Google (as well as apple) all this leftist garbage is tied in.

All you “cool” folks with GMail and who use Google are having your privacy raped by the leftists that run Google. Breitbart’s use of Google Analytics and YouTube and Google Ad Services, amongst other things is just unbelieveable. Whoever designed this web site is a shill for the left or an idiot.
It's just another one of the uncivil crowd acting normally, they have a right to! Except the correct terminology is they have lefts, something beyond rights!!! That's too confusing, maybe they are just (Old Fashioned terminology) Liars, cheats, scumbags, freeloaders, connivers….Sorry for the hate speech!!! Left says I don't have a Right to criticize….Bad me!!!
sorry, but Google was among the last U.S. internet companies to go into China precisely because of the censorship problems. Do you honestly think Yahoo or Microsoft aren't guilty of censorship? Or are you just jumping on the bandwagon?
You are insinuating that when Bush was president, his policies were not police state policies even though liberals called them as such, but now that Obama is president, the same policies are those of a real police state. If you're going to write something on a message board, at least make sure it makes sense.
A small note: McLaughlin was mistaken. The list Buzz displays does not consist of people you email most often. It consists of people you've emailed WHO HAVE ACTIVATED GOOGLE BUZZ. Hardly surprising, then, that most of the people on that list would be Google employees. They've probably been using it internally for some time before public launch. This article rests, then, on a misconception. As was clarified during subsequent discussion, many of these folks haven't communicated with McLaughlin in years.
The anonymous contributor of this post about transparency may be able to work several years at a company without making a single friend. I guess McLaughlin is more sociable.
