Yahoo Challenges GOI order

Nov 27: Yahoo has challenged the order of GOI imposing a fine of Rs 11 lakhs for refusing to part with some information demanded by the Government. The details sought for was regarding the e-mails sent claiming responsibility for the Delhi High Court blast. While Yahoo has raised a defense that it is duty bound to protect "Privacy", it is on a slippery ground as it is trying to protect the privacy of persons who are either mischievous and trying to mislead a terror investigation or preventing the culprits being identified in time. While the procedure used by GOI may be debated, it is unclear why the Government pursued the financial penalty route rather than prosecuting Yahoo on criminal charges. Yahoo should be happy that it has not happened as yet. Report in TOI
