It may seem like splitting hairs but makes a big difference with regards to whether or not I could be accused of defamation. If you recall the sequence of events, I posted my original opinion stating it needed to be clarified, then after more thought and discussion I added an update in big red bold font offering an alternative interpretation but still stating the situation needed clarifying and then I retracted the part entirely mid morning yesterday and replaced it with a paragraph inviting Kent a right to reply to clarify the issue.

Alex, a HUGE thank you for what you have done on this campaign:angel::clap:
As I now understand the situation with the Charity adverts is they :- Bought Charity adverts. Who benifited the charity or the advert company Used said charity adverts to test the reportedly illegal system. So so charitys have been used to validate a criminal act. Phorm are skum, lower then the low to use charities in this way. Then because of a misunderstanding of a document, and one mistake by the opponents of the people involved, when the truth comes out, get heavy. Phorm and BT committed 1000's of crimal acts, but dont give a damm and will not explain their actions. Yet one legitimate mistake by the oposition and no crime commited, threaten legal action. What would be the position on a citizans arrest against those involved in BT's criminal acts. col |

<disappointed> This is how we missed it then, Chris hasn't provided a link to the document either. I'd like to know why Chris hasn't followed up with a least an updated article with the link to wikileaks and re-posted it on the front page. </disappointed> |

Inadvisable to attempt a citizen's arrest under any circumstances nowadays given PACE you are likely to end up the one in jail instead of the person you arrest.

Apart from the Phorm issues this thread is amazing for lots of reasons.
A couple of days ago somebody posted about Google grants. The last time I looked into this is was just for the USA 501(3) organisations. The post promted me to look again, and yesterday I filled in an application for the charity I run. So thank you ( sorry I can not remember who made the post). col |

There are many old sayings around all meaning the same thing.
A chain is as strong as its weakest link, BT was strong now with Phorm this old saying comes tomind. A fool and his money are soon parted To say it is foolhardy to follow the phorm route is correct. this last one maybe more relevent to what BT are doing Absolute power corrupts absolutely With the forcing of phorm onto customers yes forcing since there is no way technically to avoid the phorm servers, you still get intercepted regardless of if it is proccessed or not it is illegal interception. So BT are forcing absolute power over their customers! The fact we only have BT and Phorms word they wouldn't be proccessed in the light of the leaked report that word is worthless. All that glitters is not gold Phorm maybe glittering money before your eyes look at the old saying and think for a while. Appearances are deceiving This would fit in with the whole saga of Kents life from early days to present nothing has changed. Quote:

******** Re: BT Webwise Discussion Thread Posted: Jun 6, 2008 9:29 AM in response to: Mark H Reply i see over on cable forum that alex got a communication from PHORM's /BT's solicitors requesting he retract various statements re the leaked document. alex had actually done this yesterday prior to this and openly requested BT / PHORM clarify some points, if my reading of the comments ( http://nodpi.org/?p=11 ) are correct they clarified one point that phorm had placed the charity adverts, but failed to clarify if the charities they placed these adverts on behalf of had been made aware of either the placement of the adverts or their purpose as being a default if no targeted advert was available and several others alex also appears to have complied with the legal request by asking others to remove the comments indicated which most if not all seem to have done if you are synical you could draw any of the conclusions below over the legal action on alex or if you believe BT / Phorm that they are legally doing the ad serving you may draw another conclusions altogether 1: BT / Phorm want to silence him (anyway they can) 2: BT / Phorm have more to hide (come on BT / Phorm lets have more CLEAR information on the trial and exactly how the system works, there is still the issue of the diagnostic logs held by the adserver for 14 days) 3: lack of PR team response from BT / Phorm on the forums etc, means they consider they have lost the PR battle now they are using the heavy hand of the law to try and win as they have bigger legal budgets and better a legal team than alex i think a large number of people will probably take one of the synical options me, i am not saying in case BT send the heavy's round to me, but i do tend to have a synical view of the motives of big business peter ******** |

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
Goodness, I go away on business for a couple of days and all this happens. Thanks to Alexander for all his work.
I've done a major update to http://www.inphormationdesk.org/ - please review it and let me know what you think. In particular I've added a new page: http://www.inphormationdesk.org/whyitswrong.htm - I've tried to incorporate all the feedback I received when I posted an earlier version of this last Sunday. Please provide some feedback, and then we can go for next actions. |
