Microsoft makes Skype in China harder to monitor

Microsoft has made it harder to monitor calls and chats over its Skype phone service on the mainland, said an advocacy group for freedom of expression, as the central government steps up censorship of the internet.

Skype said on Monday it had ended an eight-year joint-venture with Hong Kong-based TOM Group - 51 per cent owned by billionaire Li Ka-Shing - and found a new partner on the mainland.
