An update on a sad Christmas story: No Family access to dead marine’s e-mail, says Yahoo. Justin Ellsworth, 20, was killed over in Iraq and his parents wanted to look at his email, but Yahoo said no. Well, according to the The Associated Press:

The family was granted access this week after an Oakland County probate judge ordered Yahoo to do so. Yahoo had said all along that it would comply with any such order.

This might be the first ever case of this kind that reached the courts. Whether that’s true or false, it’s too bad that Yahoo needed their hand forced, but it’s good to see that this one turned out this way.

Did this post make you go hmm?
