“Yahoo reports that it is on the verge of releasing 1,500 pages of documents related to a long court battle over its participation in the PRISM program, a National Security Agency program revealed last summer as part of the Snowden leaks. A leaked top-secret slide about PRISM shows that Yahoo was one of the first participants, having begun contributing to the database in March of 2008. It did so under severe duress. Company executives believed the government’s demand for data was ‘unconstitutional and overbroad’ and fought it in court. After it lost, Yahoo was threatened with $250,000 per day fines if it didn’t comply with the program.”
