Microsoft to take hard stance on Kinect Data collecting
[quote]Microsoft have stated that they will take an aggressive stance to any one who tries to use the Kinect to collect data.
With the new Xbox One being bundled with Kinect, many people voiced their objections for fear of it breaking their privacy but Microsoft has said this definitely won’t happen. The company is currently trying to release information on the data requests it has received from intelligence services in the past, but is being blocked from doing so by the US government.

[quote]“Absent a new law, we don’t believe the government has the legal authority to compel us or any other company that makes products with cameras and microphones to start collecting voice and video data. “We’d aggressively challenge in court any attempts to try and force us to do so.”[/quote]
I think all of this worrying is stupid I mean come on,
1. Phones have camera's and mic's but nobody cares.
2. Laptops have Camera's and Mic's in (And actually have been hacked) but nobody cares otherwise
3. Ipads have camera's and microphones and nobody cares.
4. Original Kinect has camera and microphone and nobody cares despite successful hacking attempts and software dev kits released for free.
5. New Kinect creates a shit storm because it has a camera and microphone.
People are just so retarded.

Ok government. You can read my texts. You can listen to my calls. You can see what websites I go to. You can see what porn I watch. You can watch my fap to porn. You can invade my privacy in whatever way you want. But NOONE INVADES MY PRIVACY WHILE I PLAY VIDEO GAMES!!!!! -crowd cheers- -drops mic-

You forgot to mention all the Cameras At Gas Stations, In Stores, At Stop & Go lights. They're everywhere you go. Satellite imagery can zoom in on ANYTHING,Anywhere, Anytime

Damn right, OP. If you're that worried about the NSA spying on you, people; then I have some steps for you to take. 1) Throw away your "smart" phone (that you people do such idiotic things with). It's far easier to hack that smart phone (or any cell phone for that matter) and steal all your info and spy on you than it is to worm into LIVE (especially since MS has much more funding for security than Sony does). 2) Get rid of any PC/Laptop you may own. If you think the NSA and various other "security" agencies [i][b]around the world[/i][/b] aren't keeping silent count of each key stroke you make, then you're a naive fool. 3) Get some tin-foil and make yourself some protective headgear and hangout in the closet underneath the stairs. It'll be the only safe place for you when the rabies-based zombie apocalypse (sponsored by your nearest local government agency) breaks out. Good luck, and may the Gods fight with you.

People will always be retarded. Truthfully, the only people i think that are worried about this, are the ones that don't realize that Microsoft isn't going to do it. Or the ones that are paranoid, and have no phone/laptop ect ect...

I also find it ironic that suddenly Microsoft have become this potential hackfest. Have everyone forgotten about when Ps network got hacked? All the personal information that got lost (Not hating on sony here just stating a fact)

Edited by Ttasmmv: 7/23/2013 3:35:35 PMThe difference is everyone uses mobile phones, laptops, and ipads, but only gamers use the Kinect. They're a violent mob! We gotta pay [i]extra[/i] attention to what they do, in case they plan to shoot up other schools or movie theaters |8- | I'm sure you understand.
