#Gaming 2021 – just helped a kid set up their brandnew #PS5, and boy, what a #privacy nightmare!

If you don't uncheck a box unmentioned during setup and hidden deep down in layers of preferences, the PS5 is always listening and remotely analyzing everything that is said to “improve its services”.

And to ensure this, yellow LEDs in your controller alarm you when the built-in microphone is _muted_, which was very counter-intuitive for the kid.

Yikes! Peak #SurveillanceCapitalism
