Skype calls' immunity to police phone tapping threatened
20 Feb, 2009
Due to a reporter's error, the quote in the 11th paragraph of the story "Skype calls' immunity to police phone tapping threatened," posted Friday, was reported and attributed incorrectly. The quote was from Eurojust. The paragraph has been changed in the story on the wire and now reads:
While telecommunications companies are obliged to comply with court orders to monitor calls on land lines and mobile phones, "Skype's encryption system is a secret which the company refuses to share with the authorities," Eurojust said.
