How to Block 360 Cam Porn
In a walk-through of the Vision Camera's functions, Microsoft's Elle touches on the issue of the possibility of video spam hitting you or your children while gaming on the Xbox 360.
She points out that you can limit video chat, in-coming picture messages and potentially offensive personal pictures through the console's already robust family setting. But then she sort of glosses over the biggest potential issue: In-game video.
Her only comment on the fact that games like Uno have built in video that you seemingly can't control is that you should "use the in-game options to control how video displays in games."
Last I looked, which was over the weekend, Uno didn't have a way of turning off incoming video. If they haven't already, Microsoft really needs to patch the game and make turning off video an option in all games that support video streaming.
There have already been reports of people showing off naked body parts and drug use in a game of Uno that was attended by a child. Oh, funny story. I actually messaged the alleged offender of that particular story to see if it was true.
He said that it did indeed happen but that it was a group of particularly rowdy friends who were guilty. They had jumped on his console when he wasn't around and treated everyone to a bit of video spam.
He promised it wouldn't happen again. It sort of cracked me up that he was promising me that it wouldn't happen again. It's like he thought I was a Live vigilante.
