Ahahaha, says a Prism abiding company.
the definition of paranoia.

Webcams should be covered when not in use because hackers could be using them to spy on people, a charity advises.
Childnet International says webcams should be disconnected when not in use, and teenagers should not leave webcams in bedrooms or other private areas.
A BBC Radio 5 live investigation found sites where hackers exchanged pictures and videos of people captured on their own webcams without their knowledge.
Here's a duck to calm you down.THEY SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT SKYPE HOLY SHIT
I'm done here, fucking start a new religion you weirdos.
So MS just admitted that it is possible for the Kinect to spy on people?
Ever stop and think that maybe it has an extremely small cache of memory set aside for that? That it maybe...just maybe...only store voice commands in small phrases?

that's how i think the NSA will filter out the information it can get through Kinect.. they can't record 24/7 so they'll only look for certain words that the microphone picks up
Kinect is not always on either. Just because its connected doesnt mean it's on. If the government wants to spy they have much better avenues with a smartphone(gps, mics, cameras, text history, call history) and laptop(cameras, mics, chat and search history, emails) than they ever would with kinect.

Fine, explain the difference. Enlighten me.

After Snowden I assume anyone who posts a picture like this is doing a self portrait.

Is it just me. Or have people suddenly started caring about privacy more because they hate the Xbox one? I bet everyone has a Facebook account and a front facing camera on there mobile phone.
What the fuck? So they are acknowledging it's basically possible to spy through Kinect? This is messed up.
anyone who thinks Microsoft or any other tech company will willingly give the NSA this data is delusional. The damage to a brand is ridiculous. More so when its stuff like Kinect or google glass.

#dead"Oh yeah, you guys can snoop through Bing, Office Live, Windows Phones, all that stuff. But don't touch Kinect, that freaks people out for some reason."

You can spy with any device. The amount of spying will depend on what's available. You could do the same with the pseye if its present. You can spy on someone if they have a camera on their PC as well and its not that hard either.
Never trust Microsoft. They'll sell whatever info they have on you to anyone.
nope - you are the definition of ignorance though:
Webcams taken over by hackers, charity warns
Hackers are able to gain access to victims' computers using a piece of malicious software (malware) called a remote-access Trojan (Rat).
"Absent a new law, we don't believe the government has the legal authority to compel us or any other company that makes products with cameras and microphones to start collecting voice and video data,"

I don't understand how it is debatable. Microsoft will have a device capable of listening and seeing everything in the room. Do you seriously believe they would not use those informations? With all the benefits involved?
One is designed to be on all the time.
The others are functional, cant be used unless you are using them...
They cant just use your camera remotely on your phone, unless you are using it with a service, like skype, that they have access to.
Your microphones arent on all the time, for most people.
Kinect will be always listening, unless you specifically make it not do so. Whenever it is on, it will be watching and listening. Even if the software you are using isnt using it, even if you are watching a movie on xbone... etc...
The fact is, all this could be averted if they made it optional. Not only that, they could sell the console for cheaper and beat sony.
the conspiracy is that they would be watching everyone at all times and that MS is siting is bunker somewhere with them scheming about spying on everybody.
Its just silly.
so from that i got..
you have to have a computer virus and people are caming in theirs tubs.. lol
that reads like enquire article. it even says the experts say it not wide spread.
I stand by the tin foil hat pic.
I'm kind of enjoying it, this is one of those topics where a fanboy has to to go even more above and beyond than usual. When you come down on people for concerns about privacy with a camera on the middle of your living room, especially with what's been going on the past few months for the sake of a company. You are to far gone to come back.

But who is to say your cell phone isn't actually doing these things? Microsoft says something and everybody immediately calls bullshit. Apple or somebody else says something and everybody goes along.
My point is why the conspiracy against Microsoft but nobody else? They're all guilty of feeding data to the NSA.
Google's Glass as well. People seem to be eating that up. But that thing is the NSA's dream. Yet there hasn't nearly been as much noise about that. Even though it can invade other peoples privacy without you knowing
