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