does yahoo work with our government and reads all emails?

Answer 1

Yes. There is a large underground organization that employs roughly the population of the United States to read the e-mail of every resident of the United States.

Answer 2

Yes, they did something similar. Google was the last hold out and then they caved.
They provided the search queries of their users to the Department of Homeland Security.

What you are referring to is when the DOJ requested, and was granted, access to all emails from all of the American ISPs excluding Qwest.

This program was defended by qualifying it as only involving correspondence between users in America and foreign countries.

That has turned out to be not true.

What a shame.

Answer 3

You're talking about software that sifts through emails to find certain pairings and groups of words.

They don't literally sit and read your emails about "xyz"

Its morally reprehensible in my book still, but alas, half the country agrees with it. Such is the way of living in a democracy.

China's constitution and our constitution are completely different birds.....its like comparing apples and potato's.

Answer 4

I rather think that they do monitor this site. Maybe not every email but look for key words. And definitely would report someone to the Government.

Answer 5

Along with Wells Fargo checking your Myspace.

Answer 6

Probably not, but it would be naive to think that they don't at least monitor for keywords in emails, especially those coming from certain IP addresses, or those email addresses cross-referenced with subversive chat groups etc.

Answer 7

Well...they helped the Chinese communists jail and torture some journalists...so ...it wouldn't surprise me.

Answer 8

Could be!

Answer 9

Why do you have something to hide. If not, don't worry about it.
