Report: Yahoo Secretly Scanned Emails of All Users for NSA & FBI
----------------------------------------------------------------

Former employees of the email giant Yahoo say Yahoo secretly scanned the
contents of hundreds of millions of email accounts and turned the
information over to the NSA or FBI. In order to do so, Yahoo secretly
built a special software program specifically designed to search every
single users' emails for keywords provided by the U.S. government. If
true, the practice represents the first known time a giant email company
searched all arriving emails in real time at the behest of the U.S.
government's domestic surveillance programs.
