YAHOO has been condemned over plans to snoop on emails in a 'blatant intrusion of privacy'.
The U.S. internet giant provides an email service for thousands of Britons, including children, who will assume the system is completely private.
But it has emerged Yahoo is changing its terms and conditions to get permission to view and scan emails. It will also be able to spy on incoming emails without permission or warning.
This will allow Yahoo to identify which subjects users are interested in and target them with pop-up adverts.
Which? Computing magazine called it 'a blatant intrusion of privacy'. Yahoo said customers will be asked to agree to the new terms.
