Yahoo secretly scanned millions of its users' email accounts on behalf of the US government, according to a report. Reuters news agency says the firm built special software last year to comply with a classified request.
"Yahoo is a law abiding company, and complies with the laws of the United States," the tech firm said in a statement provided to the BBC.
