Skype's Twitter account was hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army to accuse Microsoft, the company's owner, of colluding with governments to share user data. When Skype regained control of its account it didn't deny what it was accused of posted a vague apology for being hacked. Last year Microsoft was already called out for conspiring with the National Security Agency and its prism surveillance program. It's scary how much information is being inspected without our knowledge. With the internet being used by practically everyone, it's an easy way for to be on the lookout. It will be interesting to see how people respond to this invasive move.
