In response to an EPIC Freedom of Information Act Request, the Government<br>Services Administration released several contracts between the federal<br>government and web 2.0 companies, including agreements with Blip.tv,<br>
Blist, Google (YouTube), Yahoo (Flickr), and MySpace. EPIC also obtained<br>amendments to agreements with Facebook, Slideshare.net, Vimeo.com, and<br>AddThis.com. The contracts do not address the privacy obligations of<br>
social media companies. The GSA letter to EPIC explained that “no specific<br>Web 2.0 guidance currently exists,” but provided EPIC with Training Slides<br>that raise privacy issues. The GSA Agreement with Google actually states<br>
that, “to the extent any rules or guidelines exist prohibiting the use of<br>persistent cookies in connection with Provider Content applies to Google,<br>Provider expressly waives those rules or guidelines as they may apply to<br>
Google.” Some of the agreements also permit companies to track users of<br>government web sites for advertising purposes. For more information see<br>EPIC Social Network Privacy, EPIC Facebook, and EPIC Cloud Computing.<br>
