Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) is still under attack due to its policies regarding privacy (or lack there of).

Ten different nations, including Germany, France, and Canada are requesting that Google reevaluate its privacy policies. They believe the company has failed to remember peoples' rights.

Buzz, Google's attempt at social networking, is the main target of the criticism. Upon its launch in February, Buzz automatically created a circle of followers for users; however, after much conflict and debate the company amended this feature.

However, Google Street View is also of concern. The company allegedly took street view images without consideration of countries' values and cultural norms and laws.

Overall, the seemingly never-ending debate about Google's lack of privacy is continuing and appears to be growing in numbers as more countries disagree with the company's practices.
