Sony may "monitor and record" all PSN activity on PlayStation 4

the intentions between Sony and Microsoft are different. See on Sony's end they're monitoring a service that THEY own, and you agree to it when u sign up for their service. It's no different than being on film when you walk into a store.

I guess this is the world we live in. With so much high tech devices in the palm of our hands and everything within our reach just with a touch of a screen precautions and measures will be taken.

I hear the phrase, "if people are afraid of their government blah blah blah". I say blah blah blah after that because the biggest key point to take away from all these numerous amounts of people is that people should be obedient to their government lest they be punished. This isn't a Sony issue or Microsoft issue. Hell it's not even a internet issues, it's a loss of empowerment for the people. We have become so wrapped up in accepting great crimes against our own liberties that we've begun to accept and sadly even defend it as OK. It's not ok for a government to treat it's people like potential threats, it's not ok to go through more steps to change your driving information to a new state then it is to get a US passport and it's certainly not ok to accept total disregard for our privacy over a false sense of security.

Does it matter? It'll be hacked 1/2 the time anyways

Sony announces they monitor their own network Microsoft announces they monitor you in the privacy of your own home not quite the same thing is it !

I have nothing to hide. Honest! Well maybe I eat too many chips...

These are regulations, rules and policies that many electronics and software companies have. Not just Sony!! The difference is that nobody ever reads the policies! They scroll down to the "Accept - Do Not Accept" section and complete the process. If you read them you'd know that these aren't new or evil. They are created to protect the owner (Sony) and it's affiliates from legal problems. I'm all for monitoring PSN. If it means my money and ID are protected then do what you have to do to keep it safe. The other upside is that more modders and hackers will get banned.

you people read too much into shit. They changed their terms of service to include the PS4. as far as monitoring your PSN activity thats so they can cover their ass if something happens while people are playing on their service. Like if terrorists start planning shit over chat or people threaten violence and try to illicit other things. they're not just going to start recording everyone, KCCO bitches.

LOL - I love watching Sony fanboys defend this.... while Kinect 2.0 was of "Satan"

That is why I like to play OFFLINE. No NSA or other creepy organization monitoring you.

Oh, BTW watch your comments on game chat. Someone might mistake you for a criminal (usually happens these days). 8-\

This is some of the most disgusting shit I've heard in the gaming scene in my twenty years of gaming. They have the "right" to spy on all my activities if they want!? Sony F##K you devious bastards.

People DO NOT support this machine. Do not give these f*****s more wealth and power. Do not feed this devious beast
