Chinese censors capture Skype text chats
Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered a large surveillance system in China that monitors, censors, and archives text conversations exchanged by customers of Tom-Skype, a joint venture of eBay-owned Skype and a Chinese wireless company.
The university's Citizen Lab, a research group that investigates Internet censorship, discovered the operation in September, and was able to access an archive of messages from inadequately-protected computers. They discovered a list or restricted words - such as "democracy" and "Falun Gong".
UPDATE: Skype responds
