I thought they had good security measures, guess I was wrong!

Wait, did they really not comply with Safe Harbor? That seems off.

I have a vague memory of the case, but I’m uncertain if "engaged in deceptive trade practices" was one of the allegations. It could be a trick option.

This question feels familiar; I practiced a similar one about privacy violations in tech companies. I think "failed to employ sufficient security safeguards" might be the answer here.

I think they definitely violated their own privacy policies, but I can't recall if the Safe Harbor principles were part of the settlement.

I remember reading about the FTC's actions against Google Buzz, but I'm not sure which specific allegation they didn't make.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. It's asking what the FTC alleged Google did NOT do, right? I'll need to re-read the options carefully to make sure I don't miss anything.

I'm feeling confident about this one. The key is to focus on what the FTC said Google did NOT do, which was fail to employ sufficient security safeguards. That's the answer that stands out to me.

Okay, let me see. The FTC alleged that Google violated its own privacy policies, engaged in deceptive practices, and failed to comply with Safe Harbor principles. So the answer must be that they did employ sufficient security safeguards.

This question seems pretty straightforward. I think I can eliminate a few options and then make an educated guess.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I'll need to think through the details of the Google Buzz case to figure out which option doesn't fit.

This looks like a pretty straightforward question. I'd probably go with option A - deploying the Pub/Sub and Cloud Run emulators locally and testing with mock data. That way I can isolate the application and really dig into the logs to find the root cause.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the trade-offs between the different options.

I feel like I've seen something about using USB drives for panel configurations, but I'm not entirely sure if that's a common method or not.

I have a vague memory of XGBoost being mentioned in our lessons... maybe option C could be a good choice since it uses that built-in model?
