Skype changes make chats and user data more available to police

http://j.mp/MJhwRZ  (Washington Post)

   "Skype, the online phone service long favored by political dissidents,
    criminals and others eager to communicate beyond the reach of
    governments, has expanded its cooperation with law enforcement
    authorities to make online chats and other user information available
    to police, said industry and government officials familiar with the
    changes."
