From Webpro News:
Yahoo, the search engine giant, is being sued for allegedly placing ads with spyware companies without the knowledge (and against the implicit wishes) of the advertisers.
In addition, suit claims that Yahoo has placed ads on "typosquatting" Internet sites-that is, sites with addresses that are only a mistaken keystroke or two away from more popular pages. Many of these typosquatting sites are used exclusively as advertising platforms.
The lawsuit goes on to allege that Yahoo manipulates advertising exposure by varying the ads' placements. Collectively, such actions could violate several laws and statutes.
