Xbox One: MS banning users from Skype and Upload Studio for swearing
Polygon has collated a set of reports from various places, such as the Xbox forums and a Reddit thread suggesting that users were banned for uploading gameplay clips in which they use profanity, it is unclear what is considered profanity. The banned users are unable to use Upload Studio or upload any clips they captured.
Microsoft appears to have lifted the ban for one user on Reddit by the name of MakVolci, he said, ” Okay I got a hold of a Microsoft representative. They’ve told me that my standing is “good” and don’t see an issue with my account – I’m in ‘good standing’.” He later added, ” I hopped on Upload Studio about twenty minutes ago and tried it out. It is now working for me, and I was successfully able to upload my Kinect footage and DVR footage to both Xbox and SkyDrive. It appears as though the Upload Studio suspension is a 24 hour suspension, as I believe it was for me.”
One Twitter user is reporting that he’s not able to use Skype for swearing in a private call, and receiving the following message:
Users who have been banned for using profanity in their Upload Studio clips are also reportedly being banned from using Skype. Polygon has reached to Microsoft for a comment.

gwedXXSea-biscuit The console just came out and Microsoft is suspending people already lol. Also I like how they are watching you "private" Skype calls there private all right just you your friend and Microsoft
They aren't listening to your calls they have filters which activate if you say f**k.
Practically the same thing, you should be able to swear at your $500 brick if you want to

RIAAfreedom of speech applies to anything. having a company basically silence you for profanity is ignorant. which is why i said 'freedom of speech is limited'.lolohnoeszsz so if i'm in a skype call with a friend and say the f-bomb or sh!t. i'm going to get banned? glad to know freedom of speech is limited. go MS.
*sarcasm*
You are aware that freedom of speech only applies when you're up against the government right?
Try screaming out Fire in a crowded cinema sometime and let me know how good freedom of speech protected you from being booted out.
