Still. I think its a bit absurd.
This is a site collecting information for a public petition. By definition your GOAL is to share your information publicly. How is it absurd to do so in the open?
If we wanted to show that we weren't letting them do this without consequence, we'd be suing Yahoo and the Gov't like real Americans. We'd be suing for such an egregious amount that our national debt would look like a bit of pocket change. We would threaten the very life and livelihood of this country if we TRULY cared about our rights and privacy. But no, instead you want us to sign a petition. Give me a break.
Or is angrily commenting on Hacker News easier?
Give me a break.
the only thing I ever liked about yahoo is flickr.. I'll miss it if its gone.
There is a mail icon in the top-right of my Yahoo Groups screen which I've never clicked. Hovering over it says 'we're unable to preview your mail'. I'm half-scared of why that is.
Should I drop dropbox, google, apple, MS, CloudFare, LinkedIn, Ebay + paypal, amazon, MasterCard and Visa for the same reasons?

> To be fair, according to this article, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and others have explicitly denied allowing government officials direct access to their servers. Right, but the statements were very carefully crafted PR statements that only implied that there were no similar feeds while leaving open the possibility that there may be. Having watching the industry for some time (Skype's PR denials come to mind as well…
Bruce Schneier agrees with you, which lends your argument some credence to me, but I thought "We’ve never received a request like this, and were we to receive it we’d challenge it in a court" was about as broad and clear a statement as could reasonably be made about this. What would you need them to say?
Though I wouldn't hold my breath.
The wiggle room in "request like this", for example, is huge. That's not something that I'm being particularly pedantic about - it's something we've seen repeated evidence for.
Basically, I've lost trust in the public relations portions of these businesses - which are not empowered to know the truth about what goes on at their organizations to begin with. The only technologies I feel confident placing trust in are ones that don't require placing a trust (forever) in one of these corporations (as well as all future employees and shareholders).
(Twitter is a good example of a company that has held out for a very long time, but has eventually given way to pressure.)

According to a statement given by yahoo to techcrunch it is a temporary problem. See: https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/10/yahoo-makes-it-difficult-t...
Right, something so basic to mail software that in 2016 it's still under development? I'm glad Engadget saw right through that too. It's pretty obvious they're doing whatever they can from losing users.

What if I decide I don't want to share publicly. By then the contents of the page as I have viewed have been sent unencrypted.

it seems that it wasn't forwarding that caused an issue, but rather its interaction with another new feature. For sure, Yahoo deserves more trust than what this article is giving it.
Based on what? Since nuking Geocities Yahoo does not deserve any trust and it has been going steadily down from there.
