It's not a surprise, really - Yahoo is a business that thrives on data about advertising targets, much like Google. "Don't be evil," is as much a bunch of marketing bullshit that'll be thrown out the window the moment it becomes inconvenient for the real goal of the enterprise. I just find the apparent need to hide behind bromides such as these distasteful, particularly when they're not merely empty little phrases, but empty little phrases that are directly contradicted by the actions and interests if the organization that employs them.
