Xbox, Kinect NSA Spying Was Done Without Consent, Claims Microsoft

Microsoft has quickly responded to new information brought to the public about the NSA, the National Security Agency, infiltrating and using popular web and online gaming services to monitor, collect data and spy on various individuals. According to the Redmond, Washington corporation they were not aware of any spying by the NSA.

"We’re not aware of any surveillance activity" ... "If it has occurred as reported, it certainly wasn’t done with our consent."

Previously, Kinect 2.0 picked up a lot of flack when it was revealed that the device would always be on and always watching and always listening. Gamers and the general public at large reacted very strongly to those policies, especially given that Microsoft had made it known that the Xbox One would be unusable without Kinect being plugged in and turned on at all times.
