Organisations such as Reporters Without Borders have made that accusation. However, Yahoo has denied it saying it "never releases information to the Chinese Government."

yeah that happened to my step daughter the other day (on yahoo). It said someone else was in her name, we changed it that night and the very next day it did it again. We reinstalled it twice, and changed the pasword again. So far it hasn't occurred again. My zone alarm also said yahoo was doing some sort of suspicious behavior like spying or keylogging or something?????

Everything about the Internet company Yahoo! screams fun – from the name itself to the bright purple colors, to the endless array of online services and distractions. Around the world they are associated with creativity, innovation and the free flow of ideas.\nI think that’s why it is so shocking to learn that Yahoo! has colluded with the repressive Chinese government to help identify Internet dissidents who were subsequently thrown in jail.\nI urge you to join me today by expressing outrage at Yahoo!’s participation in human rights abuses in China.\nThe details are shocking. Investigations by Amnesty International and others show that:\n• At the Chinese government’s request Yahoo! routinely censors search engine results \nin China -- without disclosing that the censorship has happened.\n• Yahoo!-disclosed private user information has allegedly been used to persecute at\nleast three political dissidents in China.\n• In one case, that of journalist Shi Tao, information turned over by Yahoo! was \nsubmitted as evidence in a trial that ended in a 10-year prison sentence. A primary\npiece of evidence was a private email Mr. Shi sent to the United States from\nhis Yahoo! email account.\nWe don’t really know how many voices have been silenced through Yahoo!’s collusion, or how many people have been rounded up. What we do know, and why we need your help, is that Yahoo! cannot hide behind the supposed realpolitik of working in China.\nRecent examinations of four American Internet technology companies operating in China– Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft, and Cisco -- suggest that Yahoo! has most actively aided repressive forces in China, by helping to jail political dissidents.\nNew York Times columnist and consistent voice for human rights Nicholas Kristof concludes “Yahoo! sold its soul and is a national disgrace.”\nYahoo! is not immune to public condemnation. Your demands for change will get the Internet giant’s attention.\nAmnesty demands that Yahoo! use its influence to secure prisoner of conscience Shi Tao's release and to stop any actions that could undermine human rights in any country in which it operates.\nEvery voice makes a difference. Please take action today.\nThanks for all you do.\nSincerely,\nBill Schulz\n\nExecutive Director

Don't use it. Google DID turn over information to the FBI when forced, if I remember right. They also did it in another country. It was just in the news a few days ago. Also that software is junk. Big brother is watching. Stay away from it.

Threats real or imaginary, the US govt. has more or less always eavesdropped on ALL of its people, more so susceptible groups. Remember cold war? Each American's track record was maintained and what not. The same is happening now. The Echelon System records every radio transmission in the world. More than 85% of Internet switches and servers pass thru or are owned by US. As I type now, it is being recorded somewhere in some server. The Fed has openly admitted they record every damn conversation in the country and not just those in-coming or out-going. Your purchases, your subscriptions, your bank accounts, your contacts - real or virtual - just about anything worth recording, are being recorded. \n\nAnd you can't do anything about it. For good or bad?  For democracy or fascism?

I wouldnt be surprised if its being monitored by "big brother"\nEverything else in our lives is being m,onitored.\nThis tyrannical govt would love to know where our interest lay as individuals.\nAnd in fact , this forum is an excellent and pure way for ppl to give their views without fear of attention from work colleagues or friends that have succumbed to the pc and thought police.

I feel they are traitorous and have turned their back on the United States.  It's all about money.  Yahoo doesn't really care what anyone in America thinks as long as they keep hauling in the big bucks.

Yahoo didn't sell us out to the government.  A court order is a court order.  Yahoo can only comply to give out the search engine information that they requested. But don't forget, this is happening on all sites and you just need to be cautious on what you search for and how you do it, that's all. \n\nYahoo has a very strict privacy policy and will uphold this when it comes to our personal information.  Department of Justice subpeona was for search engine info only, and that's all they get.

Even though technology has advanced far enough to have people access various entertainment and aid applications, there is no legal way to know if a person recieved their Yahoo! mail, atleast none that I know of. True, they may send you a reply if it is appropriate, or they will notify you personally, but none have been devised to do so.

Yahoo is the neo-con mafia

This is Mr. Yahoo. I seized your IP address and decided to answer your question :) \n\nActually, not only can Yahoo seize any of the traffic or IMs you send, but so can anyone with access to security, de-cryption, and large CPU power...in other words any large government agency. \n\nYour secrets are safe with Yahoo though, they don't sell their stuff to advertisers as much as Google does. \n\nYou have more to worry about identity theft from someone stealing your personal information from discarded mail in your trash bin then to worry about packets being sniffed on the internet.

Yahoo techs were probably doing maintenance. Do you feel you are entitled to fast posting?
