Ok. Can we at least grasp that the government is on trial here, not MS? Because if the federal government demands information to any american company/subsidiary, they would have to comply. MS getting fingered out is just wrong.

But yes, that is my stance. My rights? My life is no different then when I didn't know about this. Why should I care if I have nothing to hide? I am a 100% believer in the greater good.

Theres a lot of self entitlement going on here and many people here take the country they live in, and the relative safety of their day-to-day lives, for serious granted. Keep preaching, and well see what you say if god forbid your local subway station gets blown up.

I don't have anything to hide either, that doesn't meant that I enjoy being monitored or having data collected about me.
I know I can't control data on me from being collected but I can control how much. Not buying an Xbox One is one less device that collects my data.

Maybe if enough people stop buying products from these companies who are collecting data, they'll stop doing it. This applies to more than just Microsoft.

You're saying the exact same thing sales is saying. Clearly you are ok with data being collected on you to a certain extent. Otherwise you would not own a PS3 and you would not be posting this message on the Internet, whether it's from a PC, a phone, or your PS3. Hell, I would love to see a breakdown of all these tin foil hatters in this thread and what they are using to post. I would bet a majority of them are posting via a PC/laptop with a camera attached. So again, everyone "accepts it", if the product is worth it.

The Xbox One is worth it to him. You are buying a PS4 instead, and it will also collect data on you.

No, I am not ok with data being collected on me. If given a choice I would chose to opt-out of it.

My way of opting our of it is by buying a PS4. This NSA/Government spying crap is only another reason for me to choose a PS4 over XB1..

@boldBTW, you keep tossing this term around like everyone who values their privacy is crazy. If anything, those who will willingly let corporations collect/gather/sell data on them are the crazy ones. All it takes is one hacker to leak all this data to the public. Just 1.
