We need to be able to rebuild trust with our    users, not only in the U.S. but internationally.  <\/p>\n<p>    Mayer said that Yahoo could let users know which data the NSA    is collecting if the U.S. more openly discussed its spying    activities. The Yahoo chief executive was one of several tech    executives invited to     meet President Obama in December to discuss NSA    surveillance.  <\/p>\n<p>    Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked classified data    last year revealing major tech companies including Yahoo, and    Google fed information to the U.S. government. Tech executives    including Google chairman Eric Schmidt have since complained    that the NSAs spying mandate has gone too far.  <\/p>\n<p>    [WSJ]  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read more: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/business.time.com\/2014\/01\/22\/yahoo-ceo-marissa-mayer-calls-for-nsa-transparency\/?xid=rss-topstories\" title=\"Yahoo CEO Challenges Obama on NSA Spying\">Yahoo CEO Challenges Obama on NSA Spying<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> President Obama needs to be more open about spying activities, says tech executive Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer speaks during a session at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Wednesday, Jan. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nsa-spying"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=469"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
