internet - Skype claims they send no users to jail
Rebecca MacKinnon points at this interview with Skype CEO Niklas Zennstroem in the Financial Times admits their Chinese partner Tom.com is censoring its text messages to comply with local regulations. But on a positive note, unlike Yahoo, Skype does not help to send their users to prison:
He insisted that the actions of Tom-Skype had not put users at risk. Yahoo has been lambasted for providing information that helped the Chinese authorities to jail two dissidents.Update: The Skype Journal has 17 relevant questions for Skype; maybe you can add them to the ones you might have yourself.
Referring to the measures taken by the joint venture, Mr Zennström said: “One thing that’s certain is that those things are in no way jeopardising the privacy or the security of any of the users.”
