这两天因为购买 Skype Credit 之类的事情，着实再次被 Tom Skype 给恶心的一顿。只要在这样的网络连接下，无论怎样访问 Skype 的官网进行购买，始终会被跳转到 Tom 网站。中国的公司都是这副恶心样吗？无奈，给 Skype Support 写信，希望至少能够让中国用户可以通过 Skype.com 购买 Skype Credit，无奈得到如下回复：（孩子你还是继续用你的 Tom Skype 吧

Thank you for contacting Skype Customer Service.

We understand that you would like to know why you are being redirected to Tom.Com when downloading the Skype application. We will be happy to assist you with this.

In China, TOM is the majority local partner in our joint venture that brings Skype functionality to Chinese citizens. The software is distributed in China by TOM and TOM, just like any other communications company in China, has established procedures to meet local laws and regulations.

It is common knowledge that censorship does exist in China and that the Chinese government has been monitoring communications in and out of the country for many years. This, in fact, is true for all forms of communication such as emails, fixed and mobile phone calls, and instant messaging between people within China and between China and other countries. TOM, like every other communications service provider operating in China, has an obligation to be compliant if they are to be able to operate in China at all. For this reason, you can only download Skype from Tom.Com if you are in China.

Should you need more assistance, feel free to contact us again.

没办法，谁让我们都在这样一个神奇的国度呢？还是要老老实实的吧，千万别认真，认真了你就死定了~
