One of the main features used is Skype. Skype has been giving away video and audio calls over the last 3 years.

Skype is owned by MS. MS is a big player in the NSA scandal.



Can I trust them right now? Absolutely not.

I've got to ask who your cell phone and home phone service is through. Do you trust them? Knowing that they give all your info to the NSA. What about your ISP? Same thing. The problem isn't these companies, the problem is our government.

Just got a house phone because it comes as part of a package, but I never use it, so I don't worry about it. not even sure if it's hooked up. My ISP is Optimum Online, which is owned by Cablevision. If it wasn't for not being able to watch my Mets through MLB.TV I still wouldn't have TV, like it's been for me for years up until about 2-3 months ago. 

My cellphone is AT&T who I don't trust one iota but I am stuck in this contract until early next year and when that happens I am switching providers (Mainly due to them charging WAY TOO MUCH). Plus I hate talking on the phone.

I also don't use Facebook. I know you didn't ask, but I figured I would throw that out there as well.

 

I also know the issue is our government, but considering all these corporations "must comply", I don't really trust that mic and camera sitting in my living room. Although to be fair I never wanted a Kinect anyways, so it isn't really this scandal that is keeping me away from it.
