Skype has been playing footsie with dictators: Its CEO admits that it censors text messages containing words that the Chinese authorities don't like, such as "Falun Gong" and "Dalai Lama."
Skype CEO Niklas Zennstrom admitted to the Financial Times that his company uses filters to censor words on behalf of the Chinese powers-that-be.
Zennstrom defended his company's actions, saying that it's "what everyone else in that market is doing." He added "Those are the regulations."
After inserting his foot partway in his mouth, he then proceeded to stick it all the way in, claiming that censoring messages on behalf of the Chinese government was really just the same thing as complying with business regulations in Western countries.
The censorship is being undertaken by Skype's joint partner in China, Tom Online, and Zennstrom said the actions are proper.
