I'd like to publicly apologize. It has been brought to my attention that certain comments I've made were potentially hurtful towards women. To any that I've offended, I apologize. I'll refrain from such excesses, even if they were meant only to pantomime the liberal use of "whore, bitch, cunt" and so on by others. While I'm a big believer in fighting fire with fire, as it were, there is also wisdom in not adding fuel to the fire.

Spotted in Ars: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/10/report-fbi-andor-nsa-ordered-yah… Yahooâs CISO resigned in 2015 over secret e-mail search tool ordered by feds Reuters: Yahoo "complied with a classified US government directive." Cyrus Farivar - 10/4/2016, 1:59 PM According to a new report by Reuters citing anonymous intelligence officials, in 2015, Yahoo covertly built a secret âcustom software program to search all of its customers' incoming emails for specific information.â Reuters noted that Yahoo âcomplied with a classified US government directive, scanning hundreds of millions of Yahoo Mail accounts at the behest of the National Security Agency or FBI, said two former employees and a third person apprised of the events.â It is not clear what data, if any, was handed over. Further Reading Yahoo exec goes mano a mano with NSA director over crypto backdoors Presuming that the report is correct, it would represent essentially the digital equivalent of a general warrantâwhich is forbidden by the Fourth Amendment, as Electronic Frontier Foundation lawyer Andrew Crocker noted on Twitter. The Fourth Amendment implications are staggering. Yahoo as agent of government scans all email, devoid of probable cause, particularity, etc pic.twitter.com/kx510PHH9n â Andrew Crocker (@agcrocker) October 4, 2016 This seems to be the first known case of an American Internet company acting on behalf of the government to search messages in near real timeâprevious operations captured stored data or intercepted only a handful of target accounts. As Reuters also reported, Yahoo's then-Chief Information Security Officer, Alex Stamos, resigned in protest once he found out about the secret program. Stamos now works at Facebook. Yahoo did not immediately respond to Ars' request for comment.
