Microsoft revealed it was buying Skype in May 2011, 17 months after filing a surveillance tech patent. Microsoft’s online message, phone and video chat service Skype has denied making changes to its system “in order to provide law officers greater access” to its members’ conversations. It follows reports suggesting infrastructure upgrades had made it easier to hand on users’ chat data. Skype has now posted a blog saying the changes were made solely to improve user experience and reliability. But it added it would pass on messages to law enforcement when “appropriate”.
