Re: Think your information is safe on Yahoo?
DOS Tip: with the right subpoena the government can get anything they want about you from any information service or service provider. Everyone seems to have their panties in a bunch less because of privacy than the fact that some of these companies make lots of money based on the sheer volume of requests.
think about it though, it takes a certain amount of manpower to run the queries, grab the reports, and liason with the lawyers through the entire process. And you know every request is lawyer reviewed. If you have any significant amount of this type of data if you didn't charge the government could quite literally cripple you with the volume of requests.
Not giving up information when asked lands you in jail...ask Larry Flynt, among others.
