Despite our own aggressive reporting on Yahoo, I do think the concerns, expressed in this story, are a bit overblown. The concerns are related to some recent incidents: the revelation that Yahoo provided information that helped Beijing jail a journalist; new Yahoo software downloads that change the preferences on users’ PCs; and some others related to integration of Flickr into Yahoo.
The most damning gripe about Yahoo concerns its involvement in the controversial adware biz….To Yahoo’s credit, it is leading industrywide discussions aimed at devising new practices for the adware companies.
