[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.

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.
