Hello,
I would like to share with you some informations that I have found in internet about the reality of Skype in China, Iran and Europe. If we can trust it or not. As you should know there are two versions of skype, one normal and one for the Chinese citizens. The Chinese one is the one that logs all the data, maybe also voice, and the normal skype (which holds 51% of the revenue of the Chinese one) says that the Chinese skype is secure, but a research found out that it's not like this and so maybe we cannot even trust the normal skype.

I have written about it here.

The normal skype is ok to trust, as NSA cannt even access the data in real time, going though VoIP

by the time they (iran gov) find the key if ever, the info is worthless, if they have the computing power for it, wich is unlikely
