think your conversations on MSN are private?

[The_Lurker]

"Men are only interested in talking about sport, money and what they are doing at the weekend. A study by MSN Messenger reveals that when it comes to conversation, most men tend to stick to just three main subjects. Thousands of online conversations involving men and women were monitored to discover what people really talk about"

hmmmm, what is microsoft doing?

I doubt that any online conversation is private anymore...encrypted or not..

[deleted_acct]

i dont care if they monitor mine,screw them i never give out credit card numbers or anything like that on any messenger no matter what so i dont care.There is nothing i say on messenger i dont want people to hear.

I'm not really caring at all. I keep logs, why can't someone else? Nothing too dramatic in any of my conversations.

MS and the RIAA can bite me.....and if they try to confiscate my computer, good luck trying to read it all my hard drives are encrypted!

Does it say anywhere whether or not the monitoring was consentual? If it was a study among people who consented to being monitored, then the issue of privacy is moot...
