It's disturbing to me that Skype can claim to care about privacy, security, and trust, while cooperating with a company like TOM (see http://skype.tom.com/). What's worse - if you type "skype.com" in your browser in China, you get redirected to the skype.tom.com site.

TOM skype includes advertisements, malware, and spyware, and there have even been reports of trojans being bundled with it available from the tom-skype website. This obviously goes completely against the principles that skype claims to embrace.

Anyone from Skype have an explanation for this? I personally love Skype - but it boggles my mind that there could possibly be justification for cooperation with an unethical company like TOM.
