White House selects Nicole Wong as chief privacy officer

http://j.mp/18rV7nw  (CNET)

     President Obama has picked Nicole Wong, currently Twitter's legal
     director, to be the White House's first chief privacy officer, CNET
     has learned.  Wong was previously a vice president and deputy general
     counsel at Google in its Mountain View headquarters, where she managed
     a team of lawyers who worked with the company's engineers to review
     products before launches. That included privacy, copyright, and
     removal requests, which earned her a nickname -- as recounted in a
     2008 New York Times Magazine article -- of "The Decider."
