This is no joke. It reminds me of when Skype used to be secure then somehow a backdoor was introduced following (or before?) the acquisition by Microsoft. History repeats itself, and humans have yet to learn from the past.

In this case, strong E2E encryption was introduced after the acquisition (though presumably it had been in the works previously).

OK! I was referring to this and it was before the acquisition indeed: https://news.softpedia.com/news/Skype-Provided-Backdoor-Acce...

Pardon my skepticism, but Microsoft has most definitely advertised to the TLAs that Skype communications are available for review.
