The execution of the bill is silly. "WE ARE WATCHING YOU". Can you think of any other similar government-imposed messages on a product? Cigarette packs don't have a message reading, "THESE ARE CANCER STICKS, BRO" scrawled on the side. Seat belts don't have "USE YOUR HEAD OR LOSE YOUR HEAD" written in 58 point helvetica on the strap. It's just so ham-fisted.
Actually on tobacco products it does say they can give you Cancer, just gonna point that out and there is warnings on seatbelts as well.
Also, as you probably know, this bill doesn't actually target the XB1. Saying that the Kinect meets the requirements of this bill is a pretty big stretch. The news agencies (that I have read thus far) reporting the connection between the bill and the Kinect are not reliable sources. Perhaps the congressmen will clarify the connection.
As for the theory behind the bill, I support it.
I do realize this bill doesn't target it directly, but your statement about the Kinect 2 not meeting the requirements is false, I'm sure I don't even have to cite a single source that doesn't refute exactly what the thing can do, we both know what it can do it has been plain and simple since reveal. I agree this has nothing to completely do with that device, but anyway it does point to further concerns that the public is beginning to have andyears this bill can very easily get picked up by other members of the Congress, not too mention since privacy and security is a big topic currently this could even allow COngress the ability to get back some voters they have lost over the years.
As for the theory yeah I am in full suport too, the privacy laws in the country are need of an updating and lately it seems corporation more authority tahn the government seems too, which is really bad, because in theory(I stress in theory) the governement's concern is teh people, a corporation's concern is money.
