  • Skype uses proprietary code. Since we can't inspect the code, it is not possible to verify any claim that skype does or does not have a backdoor or whether. This is why I always prefer open-source off-the-record open-source messenger services. Remember: trust, but verify.

  • hes lying; hes has an obligation bound by law to deny it.
