Microsoft&Xbox...

Privacy concerns surrounding Microsoft's Xbox One have reached Capitol Hill.

The U.S. House of Representatives has introduced legislation that could force the console to visibly alert users that they are being monitored.

The “We Are Watching You Act of 2013” bill (honest, that's the name) isn't just aimed at consoles, however. Its broader focus is any set-top box device that includes a camera capable of monitoring the activity of users.

Introduced by Rep. Mike Capuano (D-Mass.) and Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.), the proposal would require companies using a camera-equipped box to display the message "We are watching you" whenever viewers are being monitored for any reason. Companies would also need to provide a camera-free service at the customer's request -- a move that could have big implications for the Xbox One, which requires the Kinect camera to function properly.
