    while this spying is completely wrong and shouldn't be happening they were taking one frame every five minutes when the user was using the web cam on Yahoo's chat service, not remotely turning on cameras just to spy on kids.
    fight it for what it is rather than some extra sensational tabloid headline.

    This is getting ridiculous, especially after the NSA fiasco. At least will Yahoo encrypt all future communication:

    Yahoo was not aware of the reported activity. “This report, if true, represents a whole new level of violation of our users’ privacy that is completely unacceptable,” Yahoo stated, adding that it is committed to preserving its users’ trust and security and will continue its efforts to expand encryption across all services.

    Recent events like this/Snowden are why Brazil is building its own underwater cable direct to Portugal/ mainland Europe.

    People starting to avoid USA and its poodle.
