I haven't used ICQ since the 1990s.

Who’s watching you now?

Russia’s largest Internet investment company, Digital Sky Technologies, made a deal with AOL to purchase ICQ for $187 million however, there are objections to the sale from the CIA, FBI and Mossad. The ICQ server is based in Israel and all three security services have objected to the sale because ICQ is one of their prime sources of intelligence gathering.

Boris Kagarlitsky from the Institute of Globalization and Social Movements stated
“The problem is that not only criminals are using ICQ. Most users are innocent. Nevertheless, there is no guarantee that your mail is not read. This is a traditional human rights concern which has to be taken very seriously.”

The US Committee on Foreign Investment are now trying to block the deal.
