Yahoo hasdisclosed receipt of three national security letters(FBI requests for data that Yahoo is typically barred from sharing) and published redacted copies of the letters online for anyone to see. The company says that the move "marks the first time any company has publicly acknowledged receiving an NSL following the reforms of the USA Freedom Act." The bill was created last year allowing companies to gag orders relating to National Security Letters.

I'd be more comfortable with the whole NSL thing if they only targeted minorities.

Of course you would, too bad the govt doesn't give a shit about that, they want your data too whitey.
This is a non story to make Yahoo feel good about itself and for other people to acknowledge Yahoo feeling good about themselves so they can in turn feel good about feeling good about other people feeling about themselves.
No mention of why the FBI contacted Yahoo or what type of information they were requesting.

Well, maybe history will remember them being on the right side. They did fight the feds in court after all over surveillance and lost.
