Theres like 8 pages of posts. I dont know who you are or and I haven’t read your posts.
Fud means fear, uncertainty and doubt. Which it seems like people are trying to create.
and this post means its mostly bullshit
And
From twitter
Hello! The notification advises you that other users may be recording your voice conversation. We do no record party chats. ^PS
hence people created FUD for no reason
Lol for the tenth time to quote what it is above .. for those with reading disorders...
Voice chat recording is a new feature of ps5 dashboard.
Voice recordings will be sent to sony for moderation and review.
....
Sony records the audio after being initiated by another user without your consent.
Sony reviews your voice chat to confirm if is appropriate or not.
I am as i said before 100% correct .. there is no FUD just the truth bother.
The recording is initiated by the user, but done by the playstation hardware using a new inbuilt feature, then submitted by the playstation directoy to sony.So are Sony recording voice chats or other users may be?

Sony is DOING the recording using a new inbuilt feature which is why the change in the TOS and customer consent is required.
Hilarious people thinking this is nothing, since when have we had voice chat and never had this explicit of a "warning". This is Sony's way to deal with "problematic" people, making it seem like other people have reported the person. They clearly are moving towards more censorship, first it was those "problematic" Japanese games they banned, then they pretended to care for their customer when the blocked cross-play, which was horse shit. They are clearly on a power trip at this point and this is just another step in that direction.
Welcome to The United Peoples Republic of Sony.
So...
- Dont join parties in the first place
- Mute your mic if you are in a party and have a habit of shittalking
- Dont shittalk
I'm not bothered either way. I rarely have my mic plugged in anyway, and when i do, it's with friends. And even in the rare times it's with strangers, i don't act like a bitch and watch what i say.I'm pretty sure that's not going to save you from being reported for abuse. It would make no sense to have a report feature that can be evaded by settings in the dashboard.
ReportedShit talking is the only reason I play competitive games.
Some people get a kick out of a percentage rating going up on a trophy list.
I enjoy talking about my night with your mum.
Fud means fear, uncertainty and doubt.
Is it that way to the concentration camps?
I actually didn't know this and was wondering. Saw it a few times in this thread and was like
Appreciate the info.
Console warring, its a daily job for these neotypes. Every day is a frantic search for something to troll/concern the otherside with. Its as predictable as Fred Sanford saying "its the big one".People jumping to incorrect conclusions, who would of thought.
yesHas Sony clarified if the inbuilt mic can be muted?
Still a slippery slope, if you call someone a dumb cunt online while mad you can lose access to all your games, its going to be abused.
Maybe I don't understand the law but don't you opt out of any possible legal moves as soon as you join the voice chat and agree to Sonys terms of service.California is a two party consent law when it comes to recording. File them lawsuits. Because Trump said we can sue them and win LOTS OF MONEY.
Well, after looking at that and reading the comments, I conclude it to be bollocks.

The outrage over this on twitter is a hilarious.
So many people claiming they wont buy a PS5 now when they know full well they'd pimp their own mother to buy it.
This has nothing to do with XBL, MS specifically RESTRICTS this from happening, just like iphone does.Hope they dont think XBL is immune to this kind of stuff
Not what I was referring to with, but of those thinking they are going to be able to say whatever divisive shit you want on these platforms, they got another thing coming.This has nothing to do with XBL, MS specifically RESTRICTS this from happening, just like iphone does.
These and other companies go out of there way to ensure that they are not enabling their users to do this normally illegal activitiy... so the ONLY way for a user to do this is by there own add hoc solution that has no legal ramifications for the company.
Just because your best argument is but they do it to, doesnt mean you can use it when its not true lol.
With millions of users, you can probably expect thousands of reports per year. You think Sony is allocating support staff to handle not only that, but spying as well? 99% of game conversations are civil, and contain little to no valuable information at all. That would be the dumbest use of resources known to mankind.Hilarious people thinking this is nothing, since when have we had voice chat and never had this explicit of a "warning".

Welcome to The United Peoples Republic of Sony.
This is the level-headed approach most people will take. I mostly kept my mic muted, save for nightly raids with my Destiny clan, and the occasional awesome FIFA party, where you stumble upon a group of gamers who actually enjoy coordinating strategies during a game. Unfortunately, that game is also where I encountered the most idiots. All of them sound like they're in middle-school, which is not surprising.I'm not bothered either way. I rarely have my mic plugged in anyway, and when i do, it's with friends. And even in the rare times it's with strangers, i don't act like a bitch and watch what i say.
Waste of legal fees. The cost of the attorney would be more than your gaming library, and you're going to have to hope that the settlement covers those fees, because you're only likely to regain access to your account, with a legally-binding warning about behavior. The terms of service constituting a form of consent would probably push any attorney, not willing to exploit a rich client for personal gain, to recommend settlement. The only practical form of litigation would be class-action, which I assume the update to the terms of service attempts to avoid.California is a two party consent law when it comes to recording.

I'm fine with this. Just don't be an asshole to people online. I seriously hope when those people who harass people online call Customer Service to get their account unbanned or find out why they were banned the Representatives are allowed to play the clips back to them or their parents to tell them exactly why they were banned.
Ok...did you read what you posted? You mean if someone violates the terms, they can loose access to all the games licensed digitally that they legally don't own?
Very first world issue here.
Don't want to "lose access" stop "renting" with buying digital games. You have no legal ownership over that content, if such a thing is sooooooo important to you, buy the majority of your games on disk.
If you don't want to be banned, crazy....actually follow those terms. I don't worry about that as I'm not calling anyone that online. Over voice or message. So I don't get this whole "wooooow I can't believe they are banning people for breaking the rules listed and actually doing it" concept.
What did you really think was going to happen though? So that doesn't sound like anyone is abusing anything, YOU NEED TO ACTUALL VIOLATE THE RULES for that that happen, in that case....what is being abused? The other user MADE you make those statements or?
1) No tech company deserves the benefit of the doubt, bar none.If you popped on your PS5 for a few games and manage to go through the process of:
You deserve a ban for sheer stupidity.
- Accepting a friend request from a random person
- Accepting a party voice chat request from them
- Get baited into saying something ban-able without the stranger also self-incriminating
- Repeat steps 1-3 enough to move past warnings into ban territory
Forget all of this fear of the dystopian console future and understand that Sony aren't going to hear a voice clip of you saying one word out of context and swing that banhammer.
I'm fine with this. Just don't be an asshole to people online.
Isn't the recording feature for party chat? I wouldn't think you'd be able to just record all 8 players in a game of COD, but I'm happy to admit I'm wrong if I am.1) No tech company deserves the benefit of the doubt, bar none.
2) On what planet should we believe only friends will be recording before PS6 comes out? Not here on Earth.
I don't know for sure as of now. What I know for sure though, is that if any recording is possible, but not general chat, the "gaming journalists" will ree their heads off until all chat is recordable. And having already started their descent down the slippery slope, Sony will capitulate. And then some partisan extremists will get control of some stupid "WORDS safety council", and shit hits the fan.Isn't the recording feature for party chat?

This. This right here is a tremendous point.
lol, we will talk again in a year to see who is right, just wait until you see how many people will get baited into getting banned, or things taken out of context, or competetive players using it to fuck over their competition. "Just follow the rules" how naive can you be
