its the exact same kind of intrusion, except not only in your home, but on the go to. Wether its video of you doing something, or a text file of all your actions, they both invade your privacy. Its not just a log of things you have bought or people you called, they often track all of your internet searches and page loads, and GPS locations of where you travel. If you really care about privacy you should look into what these cell phones company are collecting about you.  Why hate on ms but not others that infringe? I know europeans take their privacy and consumer laws seriously. I respect them for that. But if your going to hate on ms for this you should hate on apple, and google too.

I keep telling (German) people exactly this but they never understand. It's like they don't want to admit that, for example, Android = Google = lots of "personal" data that is connected almost all over the directly accessible internet. But the Xbox One is bad because it spies on you!

I don't understand these people. They should have stepped up years ago. They only do now because media is going nuts about privacy. Too late.
