> Also, I'm wondering if this story is bigger because people love to hate on Mayer. I am certain this kind of thing happened/happens at Facebook, Google, Twitter, WhatsApp, etc., so it's confusing why this is so newsworthy. Are you serious? It's newsworthy because we have proof they did it. If we had proof Google or Facebook did it, then it would be news, too. And probably much bigger news, because nobody really cares about Yahoo anymore, especially after its sale to Verizon. In fact, check social media and Reddit. A story about Wikileaks hinting at Google manipulating search results to favor a certain US candidate is already being talked about. And that's despite the latest trend to hate on Wikileaks because they focus too much (?!) on exposing Clinton's corruption.
