Thanks to the noble exposure Edward Snowden (Edward Snowden), the other day it became known that the US National Security Agency not only read SMSI of its people, but also followed it in the vast online online games, as well as on the Xbox Live network. Company Blizzard Entertainment, created one of the "observed" MMO World of Warcraft, immediately expressed her indignation with such actions of the government, since she did not give any permission to survive users.
Also involved in this unpleasant story Microsoft At first I tried to remain silent. But then, apparently, I still realized that from the community this behavior looks somewhat dubious. It was then the owner of the Xbox Live and spoke for a statement that stated, they say, as well as Blizzard, The developers and had no idea that the NSA uses their service in their "dirty deeds".
And in order to further emphasize its disapproval of espionage behind gamers by the state, Microsoft joined other Internet giants Google, Yahoo, Facebook* And Twitter, which signed a joint act Global Government Surveillance Reform.
The purpose of this document is to minimize any encroachment of government services to private information of users of the aforementioned services, as well as a more attentive attitude towards agencies similar to surveillance. Among other things, the company signed the company require the government more transparency and respect for the free dissemination of information.

It is strange that the world reacted so calmly to these revelations. Once Nixon generally left with a shame when they learned about his little surveillance.
He was a witness: once a granny in a pharmacy asked a man: โYou know Microsooft?", He replied that he knows, and she continued:โ So they specially embed the old -armed chambers in the cane, which are turned on with a certain angle of inclination!".She also said that she is in each metro car no more than 2 minutes, and that she has a device that measures the electronic fields of phones. I haven’t had to restrain my laughter so much.
Almost everything that intelligence services needs can be obtained from open sources: VK, Facebook,* Twitter, you can even learn a lot from your profiles on Stopgame if you were sloppy.
This is done quite simply: you need to create a collection program of information that will begin its march, for example, from your profile in Vkontakte and will cross along various links on the page simultaneously collecting various information (which one was taught to collect it).
This is followed by standard statistical processing, from which you can find out a lot, sometimes you can even find a passport or bank card number if the owner left them somewhere.
(By the way, with the help of your friends marked in photographs, you can well teach person recognition algorithm. Where it can be applied, think for yourself.)
I’m not talking about the fact that you can get illegal methods, the recent puncture of the solid IT company Adobe is an example.
Currently, there are no laws providing for liability for analysis open data (if they are spying through a kinekt, then another thing), and if you want privacy then, damn it, achieve it.
Follow your personal information, and do not hope that the corporation that you decided to trust you will do for you.
Do not protect your privacy – do not whine, they yourself are to blame.
Want to do everything super-secretly-do: study the methods and learn to use them.
Now we are all quite vulnerable, and even peeping through the kinekt will not worsen the situation so much.
P.S.: no need to succumb to paranoid panic, just keep in mind.

In words, I could sign some kind of piece of paper there, so that the people are calm) all these words are not worth anything and there are no guarantees, and there will be no)
All this is a game of public, in reality they are not worried about the opinion of people.
That โfrom aboveโ indicate and do it.
