Yahoo Corporation called on Wednesday for National Intelligence Director US, James Clapper, to declassify a supervision order to allow the company to respond to a Reuters news agency article on scanning all incoming mail services of the Yahoo Mail users.

American Civil Rights Union (ACLU) filed a motion independently with the same court purpose oversight of US intelligence. ACLU request and published over 20 other relevant regulations of the past decade.

Reuters published, on October 4, news that the Yahoo Corporation has developed last year custom software to scan all incoming mail of its customers in search of data specified by the US intelligence officers.

According to confidential sources the ‘knowledgeable in the subject,’ Yahoo would have complied with such a secret request of the US government formulated either by the Agency for National Security (NSA) or the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Based on the statements of three former employees of Yahoo and a person informed of events, Reuters said they were scanned hundreds of millions of Yahoo Mail accounts.

Yahoo! Mail, often shortened as Y! Mail, is a free (and commercial as well) online e-mail provided by Yahoo!. The site was inaugurated in 1997. Since 2009, Yahoo! Mail serves over 280 million users.

Since 2008, Yahoo! began offering unlimited storage for e-mails as Yahoo! Mail Plus users of commercial and non-paying users.

Yahoo announced that it has received more than 12,000 requests in the past, for interceptions from the US government, mostly related to criminal investigations, such as fraud or murder.
