Hi,
I've been recently told that Microsoft logs all chat messages from MSN Messenger to their servers, to accomplish US Laws. Where can I find more info on this law ? Thanks. |

Hi,
I'm afraid I can't give you a direct answer (simply because I don't know how accurate it would be), however I'd point to this: Microsoft reserves the right at all times to monitor communications on the Service and disclose any information Microsoft deems necessary to (i) ensure your compliance with this Agreement; (ii) satisfy any applicable law, regulation or legal process; or (iii) protect the rights, property, and interests of Microsoft, its employees or the public. Microsoft also reserves the right to edit, refuse to transfer or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, in Microsoft's sole discretion. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2004 Jonathan Kay.

Can you please give me a link where you collected that info ? I mean, a link I can open from Italy, without my browser being redirected to a translated page. Regards. |
