One of my stranger hobbies is collecting interesting and weird anecdotes I find in the news. I have a few areas that always fascinate me, such as finding people who miraculously escape certain death, or items about human memory and cognition, or eccentric individuals who embody some strange aspect of the human condition.

"Recently some medias have reported about possible access for public authorities to listen to Skype calls and other Skype communications.
In the Security Section it reads: "One of Skype's main goals is to protect our users' from unauthorized eavesdropping."
What does the term "unauthorized" mean ?
Who authorize - me or Skype ?
Can you garantee that Skype does not provide access for anyone to listen to Skype calls and other Skype communications ?"
Today Skype Support sent the following reply:
"Thank you for contacting Skype Support.
Skype does not comment on such media speculation. Skype has no further comment at this time."
They don't want to lye, so they decline answering.
Does anybody need more proof ?
