i just don't really see the big issue in why people react so severely to email scans and other garbage like that. sure, I don't like them going through my emails personally, but I don't have anything that could be used against me or anything that could be potentially seen as a threat. i doubt a lot of people have anything to worry about

its a big issue because it's widely being deemed as unconstitutional.

FYI; google, microsoft, apple, and others do this in real time already as part of being in the PRISM program. In fact they've been doing it since as the late 2000's.

the constitution is only relevant if the government forced yahoo to do it
to be clear I don't know whether they did or not, but if yahoo volunteered it then they're the only group to be upset with
well I guess it'd still be reasonable to be upset with the government for taking the offer but like what else would you expect, you know
