Submission + - Chinese Skype Censorship? (cnn.com)

vampire_baozi writes: The Chinese version of Skype includes snooping software designed to filter messages with certain keywords (Tibet, democracy, and milk powder were mentioned). The software was apparently added by Skype's Chinese partner, Tom Online Inc. The CNN articlegoes on at length about Skype and wiretapping, but the Chinese government seems to be ahead of the FBI- why use subpoenas when you can force local partners of international corporations to do it for you?
