Privacy Advocates Demand Transparency From Skype 95
tsamsoniw writes "Dozens of privacy advocates, Internet activists, and journalists have issued an open letter to Skype and Microsoft, calling on the companies to finally get around to being clear and transparent as to who has access to Skype user data and how that data is secured. 'Since Skype was acquired by Microsoft, both entities have refused to answer questions about exactly what kinds of user data can be intercepted, what user data is retained, or whether eavesdropping on Skype conversations may take place,' reads the letter, signed by such groups as the Digital Rights Foundation and the Electronic Frontier Foundation."

Listen you conspiracy nutjob, who do you think you're talking about?
You think the Illuminatis are listening in on your idle chatter, and your webcam mysteriously activates in the middle of the night by remote parties unknown?
Microsoft and the NSA are sovereign American entities, and we are totally beyond reproach.
Save your paranoia for late night talk shows and those dirty Chicoms.
