Xbox One: MS banning users from Skype and Upload Studio for swearing
Polygon has collated a set of reports from various places, such as the Xbox forums and a Reddit thread suggesting that users were banned for uploading gameplay clips in which they use profanity, it is unclear what is considered profanity. The banned users are unable to use Upload Studio or upload any clips they captured.
Microsoft appears to have lifted the ban for one user on Reddit by the name of MakVolci, he said, ” Okay I got a hold of a Microsoft representative. They’ve told me that my standing is “good” and don’t see an issue with my account – I’m in ‘good standing’.” He later added, ” I hopped on Upload Studio about twenty minutes ago and tried it out. It is now working for me, and I was successfully able to upload my Kinect footage and DVR footage to both Xbox and SkyDrive. It appears as though the Upload Studio suspension is a 24 hour suspension, as I believe it was for me.”
One Twitter user is reporting that he’s not able to use Skype for swearing in a private call, and receiving the following message:
Users who have been banned for using profanity in their Upload Studio clips are also reportedly being banned from using Skype. Polygon has reached to Microsoft for a comment.

Scared_of_WaterUrfScared_of_WaterCraig-Axe That is really stupid. Banning somebody for swearing. If this is the case, then I might not be getting xbox one.
This has made me get the PS4, along with all the other reasons.
You know Sony spy's on you too
Yeah they spy on your feed meaning all they're gonna see is what game you're playing and your screenshots. Not as bad as Microsoft watching your every move.
And your voice and text, should read the usage terms
I remember reading somewhere that by reading your messages, they lose common carrier or whatever its called, in plain English it means that if they miss one important message about terrorism or something, MS can be heavily fined for it.

woprosi TTG has the worst news writers, bunch of old news, and copying and pasting.
You do understand this is a copy and paste and that's how their news has been since who knows how long? They clearly say what their source is, nor do they ever say they wrote it themselves.

NSA much? I can see their point on swearing your commentary. I can not see the point of them penalizing for swearing in your group/private call. To know this they would have to be listening to your EVERY WORD. Stop spying MS.

I'd be pretty mad if I was banned from skype for swearing. You should be able to say whatever you want in a private call or group chat.
