Theresa May is concerned that Yahoo’s planned move to Dublin could prevent British counter-terrorism experts gaining access to users’ information.
The home secretary has reportedly called for an urgent meeting with executives from the internet giant - whose European base is currently in London - to talk about security.
If the relocation of the firm’s headquarters goes ahead, Yahoo would not have to comply with British surveillance laws, such as handing over information demanded by intelligence agencies and Scotland Yard, The Guardian reported.
This information can currently be obtained using Britain’s anti-terror law, the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (Ripa) and this has caused Yahoo to be concerned about keeping its millions of users’ information private.
