Skype Privacy Issues

[tsukiyomii100 0]

Hi everyone,

I realize this is a forum dedicated to immigration issues. However, I believe this news story affects many of us who communicate with loved ones abroad. I felt that those of us who use Skype should be fully aware of the level of privacy and the involvement of the US government (and third-party contractors like Booz Allen Hamilton) in monitoring video chats:

You think Obama or the Obama administration is behind everything that's going on at the NSA?

AND yes, I assume this is a trap so you can use your letter system. Haven't seen it in a while.........

Obama's behind everything.

Everything bad, anyway.

This is why my fiance and I begin every conversation by waiving and saying "hi" to the NSA

Guess we need to add the FBI and CIA to our greetings.

Best not to be rude.

You'd think with all the info they have on us, we wouldn't have to fill out countless forms during the immigration process that all ask the same questions.

He did that already and couldn't find his dot on the chart. Then he pulled a Zimmermann and lied his ####### off to get back onto the radar.

If you seriously think that your international electronic communication is not being watched, you're naive. If you think the NSA are the only ones doing this, doubly so.

Yep - you have to act as if everything is being monitored.
