Microsoft is watching you

Microsoft's Kinect System is Watching You

Microsoft X-Box Kinect games device has a video camera and a microphone that records speech. Microsoft has stated that users "should not expect any level of privacy concerning your use of the live communication features," and the company "may access or disclose information about you, including the content of your communications."

Now you decide, is it all made up or it this real?

In your xbl profiles privacy settings you can select custom and say not allowed to microsoft recording your voice and things like that. I forget the actual wording of the option, but there is an option for it.

Info wars did not give any conclusive evidence that the kinect is wired/programmed to be used by outside sources to spy on people. Hackers can prove if  Microsoft is using the kinect to relay customer profile data. I don't deny that the kinect has spying capabilities but it is a long shot to go out and say that Microsoft is actually doing this right now. Who cares take their word for it they are probably right but info wars is starting to become an unreliable source for information because of stories like this. I call this kind of story an educated guess.

Its dangerous and an unethical way of "efficient advertizing". People need to pass laws to protect anyone from information collection like this. Why i say that is not only can this be used for "bettering advertizing" but it can be misused like how the video explains it; spying.

Obamacare is the same . Laws made by large health insurance companies write up the bill like they want it and give the bill to their little old government buddies to pass it and put the law into effect. People need to fight back.

Obamacare = monopolize insurance based on state/region and force people to own insurance.
Kinect = target dumb sheeple who are thinking "fun and games" not realizing advertizements are targeted towards them as an individual to squeeze out super-efficient profits.

Whats it matter? Unless your a terrorist or a child molester you have nothing to worry about... perhaps this is a good thing.

It matters because MY privacy is being invaded no matter if im innocent or guilty. I have a right to privacy and I don't want to be a sheep like the rest.

Most likely won't help your cause if this story is true.

[snowcolt17]

yes. when you think you have privacy, you dont?

As soon as you acquire an internet connection your right to privacy is kind of out the window.. and whats "sheep" got to do with privacy? btw, this is America..assuming you have rights is the first step in the sheep direction lol  You have the right to remain silent, thats about it.

[Blazinkaos]

I sorta saw this coming I knew something was fishy about that thing and never got one. Well my gut sure has its intentions now. Hope this stuff doesnt get out of control.

sheep are people who don't question authority and also who the mass media targets.


Surfing the internet doesn't really throw your privacy out of the window if you lurk around and just read things.

Now the right to remain silent is the 5th amendment and your Miranda rights. They aren't quite the same thing but they both protect you if higher power claims you're guilty. Constant surveillance and spying is a workaround your rights to privacy and "pleading the 5th".

For example they "spy" on you through a kinect or similar device to catch you talking about buying a crappy red car to burn at your friend's house just for fun(i don't know why you would do that)... Unfortunately a week later that same model red car is used in a terrorist attack that you have nothing to do with. Investigation of cloud data recorded from your kinect point to you as a potential suspect... so they arrest you, read off your miranda rights, and try you for a crime you didn't even do. Talk about a bad day.

Lol, I wouldnt expect to see an Infowars article on the front page of Acidmods

But why spy on people through Kinect? mass surveillance is easier through smartphones, lol.
