While clearly Google seriously fucked up with Buzz I think most of these lawsuits are being filed by trolls out either to make a quick buck or because they like to jump on bandwagons like this.

I dont really support them in that because it damages the claims of people who might really have been hurt by their private data being exposed.

If Google hadnt locked things up again then, yes, files all these suits to get them to take notice (that's surely the point after all). Otherwise IMO the only suits should be from those with actual damages. EPIC should be the ones slapping them over the privacy mess.
