Microsoft banning "offensive language/material" across ALL platforms.

Microsoft is cracking down on what people say while using their services online. According to a new services agreement written by the company, the tech giant is planning to ban accounts that use “offensive language” and will go through your private data to “investigate” users.
In a March 1 release, Microsoft is warning customers using Office, Xbox, Skype, and other products that the company is prohibiting offensive language and inappropriate content starting on May 1. “Don’t publicly display or use the Services to share inappropriate content or material (involving, for example, nudity, bestiality, pornography, offensive language, graphic violence, or criminal activity),” Microsoft warns in a portion of their new codes of conduct.
quote:
Microsoft also added that the company plans on “investigating” users who are accused of violating the new policy and will block content from being sent to other people. “When investigating alleged violations of these Terms, Microsoft reserves the right to review Your Content in order to resolve the issue,” the new policy states.
quote:
Civil rights activist and law student Jonathan Corbett added that Microsoft’s May 1 agreement is just an excuse to police people’s behavior, even in private. “I can’t use Skype to have an adult video call with my girlfriend? I can’t use OneDrive to back up a document that says ‘f–k’ in it? If I call someone a mean name in Xbox Live, not only will they cancel my account, but also confiscate any funds I’ve deposited in my account?” Corbett questions in a blog post.

It's a different platform, but my 7 year old's Roblox account got a 3 day ban for saying "Do you know de wei" in the chat. They called it "hate speech" and said it wasn't tolerated under guidelines...blah, blah, blah.
I researched, and found the source meme (Sonic the hedgehog), and researched a little more, and found nothing that would indicate WTF they are talking about. But I also had no desire to explain "hate speech" to my 7 year old without legitimate reason.
Who the hell are these people deciding what is offensive?
Applying similar ignorant logic across all Microsoft products is pretty damn frightening.

Does Microsoft actually want to police user content or is this because of the new laws that were passed that made sites responsible for user posted content which is why Craigslist shut down the personals section where prostitutes found desperate men to steal organs from?

Oh man I'm really going to be screwed whenever I go to search for stuff on Bing.

Not subjective at all. What about a cartoon frog? Inappropriate content? hate speech?

It'll be a sad day when they start banning people for shite said in guild chat or world chat in MMOs
I learned how to swear and insult more effectively because of the chat and raid teamspeak in WoW.

My 14yo son keeps receiving blind or disguised links to porn. I'd say that is a problem they should fix.
