![Kinect:Microsoft pledges to “aggressively challenge” government spying](https://www.thetechgame.com/images/news/article/0095ee9b21.jpg)
In a statement to The Verge, a Microsoft rep wrote, “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.
“We’d aggressively challenge in court any attempts to try and force us to do so.”
The statement follows concerns of Microsoft’s date sharing with the NSA and other government bodies via the US Congress-baked PRISM surveillance initiative.
Microsoft recently explained the nature of its data-sharing, following claims that it has relinquished data from Skype calls, SkyDrive accounts and other services to comply with legal obligations placed on corporations as part of the PRISM strategy.
What do you make of the above? Do you trust Kinect’s monitoring tech? Let us know below.
