Skype President Repsonds to TOM-Skype Privacy Controversy

Skype President, Josh Silverman has responded to yesterday’s report that the company’s Chinese branch, TOM-Skype is monitoring user chats and in some cases, storing user data on insecure servers accessible by the public.

Skype Messages Monitored In China

Pickens writes "Human-rights activists have discovered a huge surveillance system in China that monitors and archives Internet text conversations sent by customers of Tom-Skype, a joint venture between a Chinese wireless operator and eBay. Researchers say the system monitors a list of politically charged words that includes words related to the religious group Falun Gong, Taiwan independence, the Chinese Communist Party and also words like democracy, earthquake and milk powder. The encrypted list of words inside the Tom-Skype software blocks the transmission of these words and records personal information about the customers who send the messages. Researchers say their discovery contradicts a public statement made by Skype executives in 2006 that 'full end-to-end security is preserved and there is no compromise of people's privacy.

At eBay, Is Skype There to Stay?

Josh Silverman is on the defensive. As the head of eBay's Skype unit, he's happy to talk about his company's more than 330 million users and six straight quarters of profitability. But the topic he has been asked to address more frequently in his six months at the helm is how eBay could have so grossly overestimated Skype's value when in 2005 it paid more than $2.5 billion for the Internet calling service. "There is this perception gap related to eBay and what people thought eBay would do with Skype," Silverman says.

Skype Admits China Privacy Breach

I think the headline should read “Skype admits to the totally obvious.” All these companies doing business in China (Yahoo, Google, Skype, etc.) aren’t kidding anyone but themselves if they believe that this type of spying and censorship isn’t standard operating procedure over there, yet they all act surprised when the public finds out.

At eBay, Is Skype Service There to Stay?

For Skype to truly go mainstream it needs to become common on cell phones -- the device most associated with voice calls and the future. Until then, it will be difficult for Skype to gain the traction needed to grasp a significant share of the $1.7 trillion global calling market that the company sees as its main market.

Strange Skype Network Activity - Even on Linux

"The last time something similar to this happened, Skype was continuously eating CPU power on every system it was installed on, and that time Skype "explained it away" with a totally lame "oh, we forgot and left some debug code in the production release". Is this something similar?"

Strange Skype Network Activity - Even on Linux

I have a few contacts with whom I still chat on Skype, so I still start it from time to time. Yesterday I started it in the morning, and then got distracted and forgot to stop it when the person I was looking for was not around (at least according to Skype's totally unreliable presence reporting). When I went back upstairs in the evening, I noticed the that the 5GHz LED and the Internet LED on my shiny new Netgear WNDR 3300 Wireless Router were blinking like crazy, and I really mean like crazy. I knew that there shouldn't be anything happening on my home network at that time, so I started investigating.
