Microsoft is prepared to hand over Skype users'
data to Russia
Microsoft said on Thursday that it's prepared to share information about Skype users with the Russian authorities if required by law.
The tech company "confirmed its commitment to work in full compliance with the Russian law," according to Voice of Russia. Russian lawmakers introduced amendments to a package of counterterrorism bills that would require online communication service providers like Microsoft to store "information about the reception, transferring, delivery and processing of voice information, written texts, images, sounds and any activities made by the users" for up to six months.
Exactly what data would be recorded and shared would be determined at a later time.
