Hey everyone,
So the news about the Xbox One policies have caused quite a fuss on the Internet huh? I myself am from a country where Internet is not reliable, sometimes for days, and I also tend to share a lot of games with my friends, so this is a really bad thing for me. However, as with all new generation consoles, I will wait until really great games come out to make a decision to buy it or not.
However, this topic is about a potential for a big scandal in the future. The U.S. government grants immunity from lawsuit to certain telecommunications companies to basically spy on calls made using their services: http://www.naturalnews.com/040196_Fourth_Amendment_cyber_spying_ISPs.html
I was thinking, what if the government kind of forced this same kind of deal with Microsoft about the Kinect? Since it can't be disconnected, you cannot be sure that it is not actually recording data. Sure, you can "turn it off", but how do you really know it's off?
