: Oh. I thought you were going to go this route: Nevertheless, the Guardian
: goes on to report a timeline of when the tech industry's giants came to be
: involved with PRISM: "Some of the world's largest internet brands are
: claimed to be part of the information-sharing program since its
: introduction in 2007. Microsoft -– which is currently running an
: advertising campaign with the slogan "Your privacy is our
: priority" -– was the first, with collection beginning in December
: 2007."

What's also suspect is that Microsoft bought skype, and redesigned the networking protocol. Prior to the purchase, skype would have been near impossible to snoop on because of the decentralized design. Miscrosoft bought skype, then the following month it became part of what PRISM could access.

Forgive me if I don't welcome an always connected game console, that could track my messages, and what what I watch and play.
