Yahoo's Fight for its Users Earns the Company Special Recognition by EFF

Ironically the only major tech company not to deny NSA involvement, is seemingly doing the most for its users privacy. Fighting against the overreaching arm of the US Govt in secret courts for the last 6 years, without any potential for publicizing their plight exemplifies Yahoo&#x27;s true stance on user privacy. Actions speak louder than words, what you do when no-one&#x27;s watching, without any potential of direct benefits or exposure shows Yahoo&#x27;s true colors.<p>Which is in stark contrast against other major tech companies strategy of instead deny direct involvement, launch marketing campaigns promoting users privacy as their top priority and go as far as launching anti-privacy campaigns criticizing the privacy policies of their competitors, whilst simultaneously providing an indiscriminate fire-hose of private user data directly to the NSA.

I have hated yahoo because of their poor products, bad user experience, ridiculous design sense, and what appears to be just brand marketing for a brand&#x27;s sake.<p>However, I have to say this news gives me a strong reason to reevaluate yahoo. And my own feelings about this makes it clear to me there is a market in customers who are interested in having their rights respected. I&#x27;m looking forward to the new wave of strong security, and corporate user rights policies as a feature.

Companies should be commended for their efforts to fight these orders. However, let&#x27;s not forget that Yahoo also handed over information to the Chinese government that led to the arrest and prolonged imprisonment of multiple people, and then tried to cover up their behavior by pretending they didn&#x27;t know why the information was being requested.<p>I suspect that the backlash from those actions may have led the company to appeal the FISC orders, fearing similar potential future liabilities.<p>Source: <a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2007/11/yahoo-calls-withholding-of-info-on-chinese-arrests-a-misunderstanding/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;tech-policy&#x2F;2007&#x2F;11&#x2F;yahoo-calls-withh...</a>

&quot;Yahoo went to bat for its users – not because it had to, and not because of a possible PR benefit&quot;<p>Good for them, but also perhaps motivated from poor PR resulting from this episode: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Yahoo!#Outing_of_Chinese_dissidents" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Criticism_of_Yahoo!#Outing_of_C...</a>

Only in 2005, Yahoo helped the Chinese regime prosecute a journalist. That wasn&#x27;t the only time that happened, either.

&quot;... While Yahoo still has a way to go in the other Who Has Your Back categories (and they remain the last major email carrier not using HTTPS encryption by default)...&quot;<p>Why? and how vulnerable to Eve, not using HTTPS?

Well, this is a little weird... Yahoo that joined PRISM in 2008 gets a gold star from EFF?

It seems like an odd choice to leave the exclamation point out. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Yahoo</a>!
