Yahoo will survive this regardless of their 'state sponsored' hand waving or not. The day the same happens to Google or Facebook will be very different.

- CodeMage 10y agoWill it? Why? If anything, Google and Facebook seem to be more firmly entrenched in everyone's day-to-day lives and are more likely to get the "too big to fail" treatment.
- sofaofthedamned 10y agoIt will be more newsworthy. Nothing to do with the impact. Though I do suspect Google and Facebook devote more resources these days to security than Yahoo.
- vegabook 10y agoAgreed. My sense is that if this happened to political heavyweights like Google or Facebook, we'd have serious diplomatic muscle on the case, as indeed we have already seen in the past with Google's China travails, or Obama's barely-hidden warnings to Europe about the antitrust fines.
