Playstation Says it Will Enable Voice Chats to be Recorded So Players Can be Snitched on for Mean Words, by Paul Joseph Watson

Video games are huge, so it was only a matter of time before the totalitarians went after them. From Paul Joseph Watson at summit.news:

Enforcing “social justice in gaming” by tattling on your private conversations.

Sony has announced that it will allow Playstation users to record in-game voice chats so players can snitch on each other for mean words said during private conversations.

The game console’s latest update forces users to waive their privacy rights, allowing others to report them and get their accounts banned for speech violations.

“Following this update, users are seeing a notification about Party Safety and that voice chats in parties may be recorded,” Sony announced. “Voice chat recording for moderation is a feature that will be available on PS5 when it launches, and will enable users to record their voice chats on PS5 and submit them for moderation review.

Cameras in the phone, virtual assistants, GPS (Global Positioning System) tracking, traffic cameras, store cameras, otherpeople’s phones, cameras and recording devices, dash cams, body cams, and even satellite and drone cameras, all watch, listen, and monitor what we do. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Electronic anything is monitored and recorded. Every keystroke on a phone, every letter and number on a tablet, every ad clicked on a laptop or notebook, every site visited on any computer device, every subject entered on every single search engine ever created, is logged and held forever waiting for someone to request that information. Or to hack it. Even DuckDuckGo (which has been quietly added as a search engine option for Google).
