Wow how many hours of hardcore research did it take to dig up this earth shattering monumental life altering information? Well that's it there is no way Sony will get out of this one, they better just close up shop and liquidate everything before the lawsuits start rolling in. "Oh no"... I just thought about it that means pretty much every website and company that has accounts with people will all fall also. Thanks a lot... see what you have done, you with your incredible investigative skills have pretty much taken down the entire web and most businesses with one ground breaking discovery. I hope you're happy, now it's all over, the internet, corporations, gaming, banks hell pretty much everything is done, thanks a lot, I guess were back to pre industrial revolution.

And I thought taping your phones, reading your emails, installing key logging software and just plan selling out your customers to the U.S. government was bad, but this is just too much to even comprehend. Maybe it is time to go back to dirt roads, horses, and chamber pots because after this revelation where can we go but down.

Lets remember that the only reason we know about PRISM was because of a whistleblower, who knows how many programs like PRISM are out there. 

Far_RockNYC

PRISM. It's just PRISM. As far as something this wide-ranging and far reaching, its this. Don't try and set-up a contemplative scenario that leaves Sony or Nintendo complacent. As of right now, there is no evidence to suggest such a scenario exists.

A few months ago, there was no evidence to suggest that PRISM existed. 

You're right, Sony very well might be doing that. They could be spying on us with their PS4's. But might's and what-if's are all just maybes. As of right now, there is one company among many who is willingly and actively spying on us, and that is MS. So I won't be throwing any stones until Sony has done something And I won't be supporting MS with money for any of their anti-me designed products.

Do you even realize how ignorant that type of logic is? By that standard we should assume that anything and everything is out to get us because something bad happened and now we need to cover our heads with tinfoil and hide under our beds with a white knuckle grip on our guns because who knows whats going to happen next.

Don't you get it, there is a HUGE difference between facts and assumptions based on nothing.

But then again I know you're just a troll looking to waste some time, so I don't know why I would ever try to use logic in a conversation with you.

Don't own a tablet and the only Apple product I own is an old-school iPod with no wifi, camera, or microphone. I do have a smart phone for work purposes that I regularly take the battery out of and place in a battery charger when the phone is not in use. The only information I offer to services like FB or twitter are the ones I choose for it to have KNOWING they are being monitored. If any of the services that I do use that are a part of PRISM were so invasive that they wanted a camera and microphone live in my living room or home, I simply wouldn't use them either. In the grand scheme of things, videogames are not worth giving up my freedoms for. This is coming from me, someone who makes videogames for a living.

You're a funny guy, do you really think your butt cream it some type of clever attempt of a come back? Or are you just too dense to type some words strung together in a form of a sentence that argues your point of view? Or is it that you know you could never win this conversation because you have no valid standing to base on a proper argument so you are left with nothing else but unoriginal gif's and pictures to try to save face. No matter which one it is, it seems this has come to an end, I have lived too long and seen too much to sit here and argue with some pictures. So now it your time to post some butt cream and feel good about yourself for showing me.

Got an Apple or Google phone, then you are supporting a company in the NSA. Both companies take information from their phones. KINECT IS NOT AN ALWAYS ON SPYING MACHINE. You can turn it completely off. You can unplug it from power and network when not in use if you where that paranoid. It would be impossible on many levels to record video and sound from every Kinect and store in the cloud. You internet limits for a start never mind the storage capacity and bandwidth. Don't support companies because they are in the NSA fine, but this whole talk about Kinect being a spying device is just total tosh.

BTW this has nothing to do with SW, I truly believe everyone should know what is going on. Video games are fun and a big part of my life but the NSA is real and everyone deserves to know the truth. So PLEASE read the link.

PRISM. It's just PRISM. As far as something this wide-ranging and far reaching, its this. Don't try and set-up a contemplative scenario that leaves Sony or Nintendo complacent. As of right now, there is no evidence to suggest such a scenario exists.

A few months ago, there was no evidence to suggest that PRISM existed. 

I love that you told another guy to take off there tinfoil hat . But now I see its because you wanted one and didn't know how to make one your self.. :D

A big datacentre is not the only thing they need. Recording a constant stream from every Xbox all the time is just not possible. You would soon notice all the bandwidth being used up on you own internet connection for example. Plus how can a box stream when its turned off as the Xbox One can be. They talk about cell phone calls and google search's as the calls are being made. They are interested in communications between people only when that person is suspect. Skype calls may get monitored if they have a reason. To simply monitor every Kinect is not possible but also not required. Apply some common sense, Microsoft is not putting Kinect in so the government can spy on you, it there as an entertainment device just like the last Xbox, Webcams and cameras on phones.

BTW this has nothing to do with SW, I truly believe everyone should know what is going on. Video games are fun and a big part of my life but the NSA is real and everyone deserves to know the truth. So PLEASE read the link.

A big datacentre is not the only thing they need. Recording a constant stream from every Xbox all the time is just not possible. You would soon notice all the bandwidth being used up on you own internet connection for example. Plus how can a box stream when its turned off as the Xbox One can be. They talk about cell phone calls and google search's as the calls are being made. They are interested in communications between people only when that person is suspect. Skype calls may get monitored if they have a reason. To simply monitor every Kinect is not possible but also not required. Apply some common sense, Microsoft is not putting Kinect in so the government can spy on you, it there as an entertainment device just like the last Xbox, Webcams and cameras on phones.

What everyone doesn't understand is since 911 under the homeland security act everyone has to do this, and been doing it since then. Nothing the government allows you to use such as phones with gps or with computers with cams its never just for you and your comfort. Everyone has to do it and i mean EVERYONE!

Aside from the fact that governments have always spied on people, this type of surveillance actually started long before 9/11. Lookup _NSAKEY ...

This sounds like that Origin debacle. People freaking out over something that pretty much every company does.

So?

Every company keeps track of and records data on their users in some fashion. Thats the way it has always been, its only become more sophisticated since the invention of the internet.

I know this is a "OMG LOOK! SONY IS DOING WHAT MICROSOFT DID OMG OMG!!!!!!" well there is a huge difference between sony doing what every single company does to its customer in a very passive way, and what microsoft did which was literally sign a contract with the NSA's PRISM program and give them decryption keys to the kingdom and allowing them to live record whatever data they want.

There are 9 companies who have signed up with PRISM and sony IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

And you don't think that Sony and Japan are doing the exact same thing? Hell, nearly every electronic device made nowadays has Chinese hardware trojans in them, even the military chips that control our weapons and defense systems...

[QUOTE="tdkmillsy"] Got an Apple or Google phone, then you are supporting a company in the NSA. Both companies take information from their phones. KINECT IS NOT AN ALWAYS ON SPYING MACHINE. You can turn it completely off. You can unplug it from power and network when not in use if you where that paranoid. It would be impossible on many levels to record video and sound from every Kinect and store in the cloud. You internet limits for a start never mind the storage capacity and bandwidth. Don't support companies because they are in the NSA fine, but this whole talk about Kinect being a spying device is just total tosh.tdkmillsy

You need to work on your reading comprehension there a little bit, show me where I said they would be "recording a constant stream from every Xbox all the time," all I said was they do have the resources in place to spy on you if they'd like (I am paraphrasing of course.)

OP doesn't actually understand the differences between releasing information due to a warrant and how the NSA operates.

Tsk, tsk. Playing on emotions to support your argument.
