“Mayer said she was ‘proud to be part of an organisation that from the beginning, in 2007, has been sceptical of – and has been scrutinizing – those requests [from the NSA].’ Yahoo has previously unsuccessfully sued the foreign intelligence surveillance (Fisa) court, which provides the legal framework for NSA surveillance. In 2007 it asked to be allowed to publish details of requests it receives from the spy agency. ‘When you lose and you don’t comply, it’s treason,’ said Mayer. ‘We think it make more sense to work within the system,’ she said. The meeting came as Yahoo and Facebook filed suits once more to force the Fisa court to allow them to disclose more information.”
