Yahoo to face class action lawsuit over email spying claims


A US District judge has given the go ahead to a class action lawsuit which accuses Yahoo of illegally accessing and scanning emails - sent to and from its estimated 275 million Yahoo Mail subscribers - without consent.


The suit claims Yahoo intercepted and parsed the content of emails, including attachments, sent to Yahoo Mail customers from non-Yahoo accounts for the purpose of delivering targeted ads.
