Question: >Yahoo has previously denied the allegations regarding participation in the program, calling them "categorically false." That's what they say, but doesn't this just show that while they fought it, they did participate because they lost the fight?[1] I'm not aiming to say "liar, liar, pants on fire" since they were probably required to say that (if my reading is accurate). I'm just wondering if they were required to say that, as this is nearly evidence of it, which would cast even more doubt on the other companies' denials.

(thanks, cmwelsh!) in particular this quote: >Ultimately, the Court of Review ruled against Yahoo, upholding the constitutionality of the Protect America Act and ordering Yahoo to turn over the user data the government requested. Though they can't say what was turned over.
