People are voting devx down, but as far as I remember Microsoft was the first to join PRISM, and at the time they paid a ridiculous amount for Skype in an area they really had no interest in being.
What I basically mean is a large portion of the money paid for Skype may not have been from MS, but from someone that wanted Skype's data without anyone knowing they are involved. MS is the perfect puppet because they already agreed to the PRISM related bullshit years before the existence of PRISM, and once it was a documented/codenamed thing they were (obviously against their will) the first on the list.
Downvote me too, I don't care. This is something I think is being blatantly under-examined.
