Facebook does this as well - they will hit any URL you post. This doesn't prove any malice, in fact, quite the opposite.

- sp332 13y agoBut Facebook doesn't pretend to have a secure network. Skype often claims to have a secure, encrypted network.
- justncase80 13y agoIt don't think visiting links nullifies the security and quality of encryption of a network.
- sp332 13y agoIf someone visited a link, that means they read it. Which means it was decrypted, which means it's not encrypted and secure.
- timrogers 13y agoThat seems like something of a bizarre argument - there's a different between a computer reading it and a person doing so. I'm not convinced privacy is infringed if it goes through, perhaps detects particular phrases (which are presumably related to illegal activity in any case) and checks links for malware. I don't have a problem with that.
- sp332 13y agoYou have no evidence for any of that. You literally just made that up. We don't know what people or what computers have this information, how long they are keeping it, or what they are doing with it. See, if the communications network was really secure, we would have an answer for all those questions.
