Kinect:Microsoft pledges to “aggressively challenge” government spying
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.

Well obviously they're going to say whatever makes them sound good, I mean they're not just gonna say "We'll be handing over every little detail about what you are saying to others and all of the video your Kinect records to the NSA." Now if they're telling the truth or not..... meh I doubt it. They'll play ball with the NSA just like they have been doing.

M$ hand over skype calls, emails and other personal things to NSA. you really expect us to believe that you wont give some sort of data to any government that comes asking? lol ok.
Sorry M$ but im finding it hard to believe that you wont hand over anything to any government when you look at your track record with NSA.

Slappp_x Weren't they supporting the NSA a few weeks ago?
Exactly.
Trading over video call and messages from Skype to the NSA most likely a lot of lies
