My concern really is that now it is much easier for the American
security services to have access to everybody's communications.
Although the article says that "calls do not pass through supernodes"
one wonders if that is really true, and if it is, for how long. And
even to know that a call was established, as is now happening since it
goes through Microsoft supernodes, is significant.

If I was a shady character I definitely would not use Skype!
