According to foreign media reports, Skype and Tom have joined hands to comply with the Chinese government's requirements and promote sensitive information filtering functions in their services.

Skype, an Internet voice service provider, said it will add a sensitive information filtering function to its VoIP service in the Chinese market. In fact, before this, another VoIP company, Niklas ZennstrA, had already said that it would filter sensitive keyword information in its services in the Chinese market. Skype is currently cooperating with Tom Online. In an interview, the company said that it would automatically filter sensitive keywords in its services in the Chinese market. "We fully understand the requirements of the Chinese market and will comply with them 100%." A company spokesperson revealed. Tom Online is currently actively cooperating with Skype's keyword filtering project. So far, Skype users in the Chinese market can only enjoy text communication functions, and the company is currently communicating with Chinese regulatory authorities to strive to promote IP phone services to the Chinese market as soon as possible. Currently, Yahoo, Microsoft and Google have all stated that they will comply with the requirements of the Chinese government and implement a keyword filtering system.
