The negative press that comes from even the accidental gathering of this data is so devastating that there are entire sections of specs devoted to making sure that we don't log / collect / consume the data - we use it as a pass-thru to whatever is requesting it in most cases.

If you should be worrying about anything, it's the actual games that you're playing that utilize the technology MSFT provides.

If you're worried about XBOX ONE, I'd suggest reading the terms of service and how MSFT can use that data. Trust me, someone WILL read it and they WILL make sure we are abiding by the ToS through wire-sniffers and what-have-you. A big company like that just can't afford to make such a huge blunder with so much scrutiny.

And before you go blabbing about 'secret back doors' you better believe a developer would know of ANY entry point into their code that scoops data. It's just not possible.

Sorry just really hate spew of misinformation.

this makes me question why microsoft would put the technology on the devices in the first place.
