Skype Apparently Threatens Russian National Security

Posted by Soulskill on from the do-icbms-work-on-skype dept.

Mr.Bananas writes "Reuters reports that 'Russia's most powerful business lobby moved to clamp down on Skype and its peers this week, telling lawmakers that the Internet phone services are a threat to Russian businesses and to national security.' The lobby, closely associated with Putin's political party, cites concerns of 'a likely and uncontrolled fall in profits for the core telecom operators,' as well as a fear that law enforcement agencies have thus far been unable to listen in on Skype conversations due to its 256-bit encryption."

    You remind me of this old cold-war era joke:

    I suspect you've confused jokes with propaganda.
