Hi,
In light of the recent thread on journalism, I wanted to share this link about Skype:
https://en.greatfire.org/blog/2012/dec/china-listening-skype-microsoft-assum...
"With 250 million monthly connected users, Skype is one of the
most popular services for making phone calls as well as chatting over the Internet. If you have friends, family or business contacts abroad, chances are you are using Skype to keep in contact. Having said that, you are probably not aware that all your phone calls and text chats can be monitored by the censorship authorities in China. And if you are aware, chances are that you do not consent to such surveillence. Microsoft, however, assumes that you do consent, as expressed in their Privacy Policy:
"Skype, Skype's local partner, or the operator or company facilitating your communication may provide personal data, communications content and/or traffic data to an appropriate judicial, law enforcement or government authority lawfully requesting such information. Skype will provide reasonable assistance and information to fulfill this request and you hereby consent to such disclosure.

csipsimple is getting closer. the ZRTP voice works great but video leaves much to be desired. twinkle does ZRTP but video still on the roadmap. ekiga claims to intend to add ZRTP support at some point, not holding my breath... yup, you're right. FLOSS video calling with end-to-end crypto sorely lacking. :/
