Hey Junto, I suggest you put a date on the post, something like "Aug 09th, 2015", so people can understand more easily it's a fictitious post. But the idea is awesome! I hope it can get to Marissa or some other visionary executive/entrepreneur to make something like this a reality in the years to come.
Sadly its a Online Marketing Summit: http://www.onlinemarketingsummit.com/blog/
Several million dollars would be a drop in the bucket of Yahoo's annual revenue.

You realise that this post speaks about 2013 as it would be in the past, right?
Oops. Where is that, I can't find it?

Serious question: Could they build their IT center on big boats like casinos? Sure, the traffic would still go through US, but that can be encrypted (with something better than SSL).
How do you power the data centre?
If anybody develops a truly secure messaging system, free from NSA's snooping, it won't be Yahoo. Simply because Yahoo is US based and can be secretly forced to change the code or push a hidden update that will decrypt everything. And by the way, such systems already exist 1) https://crypto.cat (after a few bad releases it looks like they got it right... probably) 2) https://github.com/ChatSecure for iOS There are a…

They could also spend billions buying every block of lego to create a Yahoo logo visible from space. Which makes about as much sense as introducing significant legal risks to their business all for a few thousand new email accounts.

That's why it would need to be open source and available for any security researcher to go looking around. The reason I chose Yahoo, was that they have the marketing clout and the brand to pull this off. This needs to be something that really replaces email, and kicks in into obscurity. Otherwise it is just another hacker tool used by a minority of privacy conscious geeks like us.
We need a trusted company outside of jurisdiction of all these insane new laws.
This actually sounds a lot like BitMessage [0], although it's not completely trivial to setup, since you have to setup a not so user friendly address and such.

This is silly. If I'm a shareholder in Y!, I don't want them wasting time/money on something like this right now. Honestly, the majority of the population doesn't care about the government email tracking or what-have-you. A very vocal minority seems to care, for now, but your average accountant / builder probably didn't spend 5 minutes caring. If Y! did do something like this, I doubt it would last--just not enough p…
