Surveillance court judge to Yahoo lawyer: What people don’t know can’t hurt you

Surveillance court judge to Yahoo lawyer: What people don't know can't hurt you
VENTUREBEAT | NOVEMBER 19, 2014
"On June 19, 2008, Yahoo lawyers appeared before the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review, a three-judge panel that convened in Providence, R.I. Yahoo wanted to contest the growing volume of requests it was getting to let federal officials monitor its users’ email and other digital communications.
Not surprisingly, the court ruled against Yahoo."

Now this is really frightening. A secret federal judge tells a US company that hiding information from their customers is OK because uninformed customers won't sue them!
Ignorance is bliss defense.

Thanks DrT
