After sneaking in voice chat recording with latest PS4 firmware update, Sony doubles down on INVADING YOUR PRIVACY by stating you will not be able to opt out of it on PS5

Once the PS5 console launches, if a PS5 player needs to file a harassment report, they will be able to include up to a 40 second-long Voice Chat clip in their report — 20 seconds of the main conversation with the other player, plus an additional 10 seconds before and after the conversation selection. Only the most recent five minutes of a Voice Chat will be available for a player to use for this reporting function.

 

These reports can be submitted directly through the PS5 console, and will be sent to our Consumer Experience team for moderation, who will then listen to the recording and take action, if needed. Some submitted reports won’t be valid, and our team will take this as an opportunity to provide guidance and education. There won’t be an option to opt-out of this Voice Chat recording function because we want all users to feel safe when playing with others online, not just those who choose to enable it.

 

Wow. I'm speechless. Sony is disgusting.

Hopefully their mods are more effective than you

This is important information. It would be nice if we could all set our fanboyism aside for a second and come together to recognize that Sony hates PS5 owners and wants to spy on them.

You're just upset you can't spam the n word while playing CoD with your bros.

I don't really see a problem. Seems like a necessary evil.

Wait I can't call people faggots in call of duty any more?

That's a rite of passage for Lemmings; no one's taking that away.

How is this new or an invasion of privacy? When playing games on tf2 or CSS, we always had someone record the event.
