I don't mean you guys, but the internet is FREAKING out because, "Microsoft is watching us, through Kinect!!!!"

NO they are not watching you, me, your dog, your brother or your imaginary friend.

What is "watching you" is a facial recognition program and an audio recognition program, these things pick up on certain tones for research mostly, and advertising.

For example, if your playing a zombie game and you scream, the thing might pick up your screaming and then use that information to tell that your getting a good scare from the game. It goes into a database and is just data.
There is certain thing's it will watch or listen for, like a full conversation between terrorists, because, apparently terrorists use Xbox's to communicate??
If you are not having conversations about blowing up an airport with your friends, then I doubt you have to worry.

It doesn't bug me really. I have nothing to hide, and I don't really think anyone has the time or money to hire HUNDREDS of people to watch EVERY Kinect IN THE WORLD. It would take a massive team of people to do something like that, and it would be ridiculous, adn as I said if your not doing anything that would be worth hiding why care?

As well, the XBOX ONE's kinect can be disabled. While the system is off the ONLY thing it listens for is the "Xbox on" command, and you can also disable that. For the 360, you can just face it away from yourself and cover it to muffle the noise.

I don't really get people's freaking out over this, I mean, really now.

It's no big deal when you don't have Kinect.
