(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); In a country against terrorism and other illegal activities, there's one group of people that always have to take it to the extreme. The US government that is, especially after SOPA came about. The Department of Homeland Security wants to takes extra steps in protecting us Americans but how will they do it with game consoles?

Apparently, the US Navy in conjunction with the DHS awarded a computer forensics firm a contract to come up with both hardware and software tools that would assist them in extracting data from game consoles. The reasoning behind this is that it is suspected that terrorists use game consoles to communicate. Both entities are also pushing to get data extracted from used consoles when they are traded in.

If this goes into play, gamers within the US (US citizens rather but how can they tell?), are safe. I don't think you other guys want to talk about how the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel will get blown up in that game. The feds may be after you next.

This is because its been found that terrorists use online games like Call of Duty to plan terrorist attacks, fact!

It makes sense for the terrorists to do so. They can communicate around the world easily while hiding behind a gamertag or PSN

But where else am I going to hide my pr0n!?:scared:

protect you americans? i think you mean how can they manipulate and control you better... lol us gouverment and protecting, good joke xD they are worse than terrorist (the us gouvernement, not us people)

I live in the us and i 100% agree with you.

its legal is the problem on ps3 at least sony has the right to view any data being sent or received so why do they need to come up with hardware reason being sony will not give out your data cause that is ilegal so they just up the playing field and go around sony or any company that owns that device

Glad I'm not American, I actually value my privacy if this happens in the UK I'll take out my HDD and give it the thermite treatment before I get rid of my ps3.

Got to agree with previous post just another way to spy control and manipulate people

So how lonhg until NGU is thought of harboring terrorists?
