No, poor article. Yahoo flatly denies involvement in any broad surveillance scheme. Trying to dissect words such as "voluntary" and "requests" and trying to claim they are not actually denying this is absurd.
Don't get me wrong. I believe we live in a surveilance state. I believe the US government collects tons and tons of data on every US citizen whether they are under investigation or not in case some day they are needed, but I don't believe the big public companies like Facebook, Google and Yahoo participate in this scheme.
The US government has more control over the Internet than to need permission from these companies.
- mathrawka 13y agoThe non-denial was written by a lawyer... it would be a common assumption that there is word trickery at hand. I believe this analysis goes into the details of how words can be used to change what the original statement is saying... while looking like it is just an honest non-denial. That is why I upvoted this post at least.
