] lawsuit claims.

Wow! That sucks!

I am more interested in how the profile was posted. If you can simply create an online personality and populate it with whatever you want, this isn't Yahoo's fault. Yahoo had a user who posted a profile about themselves. Next, some other random person starts emailing Yahoo asking them to remove that user's profile/pictures. Oh course Yahoo will ignore her. Otherwise anyone would DoS their user's info.

Her real beef should be a defamation of character suit against her ex, not Yahoo. This is a misplaced lawsuit.
