Skype hands 16-year-old's personal information to IT company
Found on Nu.nl on Tuesday, 06 November 2012
Skype illegally distributed a user's personal information to a private company during a police investigation into Anonymous-sanctioned cyberattacks on PayPal.
Skype distributed the information voluntary, without a court order, as would usually be required.
Gerrit-Jan Zwenne, a professor of Law and Information Society in Leiden and a lawyer at Bird & Bird in The Hague, says the sequence of events surprised him.
Privacy? Not for you. Might be interesting if Skype could be sued for violating privacy and/or data protection laws.
