Skype makes chats and user data more available to police
““The issue is, to what extent are our communications being purpose-built to make surveillance easy?” said Lauren Weinstein, co-founder of People for Internet Responsibility, a digital privacy group.”
The answer: “The Sky’s the limit!” In other words, there is no distinction between right/correct/good and left/wrong/bad when (for example) certain annoying “engineers” continue to troll my weblog “automattically” for useless bits of information and in a feign attempt to increase “false” traffic. (I seriously don’t care!)
So yeah, (for example) since WordPress.com is free and when users purchase upgrades from the “Store” with their credit card, those transactions provide tracking data (such as credit cards and addresses) and monitoring activities.
As for Skype, I never heard of it until my first cousin bugged us about communicating in this manner and at the business expense (for usage) of her company.
