You can't a libel a company, anyway. If there were remarks about
individuals, then that's quite a different kettle of worms.
I wonder how the company would send a SAR to the employee (who is
presumably the data controller/publisher) without tipping him off? Yahoo
isn't in the loop until there's evidence of a libel against an
individual. Even then, they'd probably take the material down after
examination, and be unlikely to start circulating copies to the
employer.
