This is actually one line of discussion I'd hoped to spark in posting the item.
There are a few dyanmics here:
1. Goodwill for a company with repeated security breeches.
2. Goodwill for a company which rolls over in the face of government surveillance.
3. Privacy expectations in the face of third-party hosted services. Frankly, Yahoo's actions should send stone-cold shivers through anyone using such systems.
4. The whole question of online petitions and such.
