Microsoft has revealed that it will try to oppose the NSA or any government spying programs to see their customers via Kinect. The Xbox One requires the Kinect to be plugged in the Xbox One in order for it to work. Microsoft has said that they don't want to use the Kinect as a way of snooping around on peoples lives.

This is what a Microsoft employee said:
“Absent a new law, we don’t believe the government has the legal authority to compel us or any other company that makes products with cameras and microphones to start collecting voice and video data, and we’d aggressively challenge in court any attempts to try and force us to do so.”

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Microsoft allowed the NSA to spy on Skype calls and Video calls through their console which angered many users. Let's hope they block the government from spying on users of the Xbox One.
