Xbox 360 features Anti-Privacy 2.0?

HEXUS.CEBIT

I happened to wander by Samsung this morning, mainly to take a peek at their HDTVs, since I'm on the lookout for something to pair with ye olde Xbox 360, and the actual DVD drive assembly for the 360 was on their stand. With SiS making a big deal out of their southbridge deal in the 360 down at their stand, it's no surprise to see Samsung doing the same with their contribution.

What puzzles me, though, is the adoption of "Anti-Privacy 2.0". Now, I'm hoping they mean Anti-Piracy 2.0 instead, which is fair enough, but if the Xbox 360 is capable of advanced levels of privacy invasion, I might get rid of mine. I can't have it watching me in the shower, or telling my girlfriend the last DVD played was something from Vivid...
