A Skype joint venture in China monitors and archives certain Internet text conversations that include politically charged words, according to a report published by a group of Canadian computer security researchers on Thursday.

TOM-Skype, a joint venture between TOM Online, a unit of Hong Kong-based TOM Group, and Skype, a unit of US-based eBay, was found by researchers at Ottawa-based Citizen Lab to monitor and store millions of records containing personal information of users of the Chinese service, as well as those who participated in voice calls using the service.....
 
Hmm... maybe I should encrypt my conversations before I send them... or simply not use Skype at all... Ventrilo seems a good alternative...
 
Is this limited to China? Sounds like it, in which event it's to be expected from that wonderful government of theirs
