    I remember a theory that the US government asked Microsoft to purchase Skype and change it from p2p to server-based, so that they could intercept decrypted communications.

    Skype was originally made by a European company (Latvian?).

      Ya know, as far as conspiracy theories go, this isn’t hard to believe might be true. I could see that. I mean, I don’t know either way what the truth is, but it’s not like you’re saying the moonlanding was actually first done by bigfoot, and it’s kept under wraps to promote the cold war. See the difference is, I actually DO know about the bigfoot one. That’s real. That happened. The government lies about bigfoot on the moon!
