Remember how we, via Microsoft’s Phil Spencer, assured you that Kinect wasn’t spying on you? It seems that might not be entirely factual; According to the terms of service, they can – and will use Kinect to monitor players.


Sections 9 and 12 of the updated terms of service are particularly scary :

If you accept the agreement, you “expressly authorize and consent to us accessing or disclosing information about you, including the content of your communications, in order to: (a) comply with the law or respond to lawful requests or legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of Microsoft, our partners, or our customers, including the enforcement of our agreements or policies governing your use of the Service; or (c) act on a good faith belief that such access or disclosure is necessary to protect the personal safety of Microsoft employees, customers, or the public.”

Yeah, protecting personal safety my ass. They just want to sell you more things.

Well I am not getting Kinect (like I ever was before )

Wow fantastic!
Just another reason why I just have to get Kinect.

Big Brother is watching you.

And I thought Wii Music was scary.

Sure is sensationalism in here. Always funny when laymen attempts law or contract interpretation

Protip: The same privacy clause was in the Live TOS from September 2008.
