It's nice to know they're scouring everywhere to try and put their spin. Including my crappy blog  |
He is right, Phorm is not illegal under RIPA -if- you ignore s2 and s3 of the legislation; which conveniently happen to be the pertinent sections of the legislation with regards to protecting the HUMAN RIGHTS of the public with regards the right to privacy in our private lives and communications.
However, since we have been told time and time again that IGNORANCE of the law is no excuse in the eyes of the courts, if they continue to IGNORE s2 and s3 we will jump on their every move and push harder and harder for criminal charges to be brought against Phorm and the Agent ISPs.
Rest assured, the secret trials by BT last June were criminal under RIPA and any deployment of Phorm -anywhere- in the UK would be equally criminal for as long as Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 exists in it's current phorm.
Want to opt in to Phorm? Welcome to the world of complicit behaviour. If you opt in you risk the chance of committing a criminal offence yourself for initiating a communication which you know is going to be subjected to interception. Your ISP will be making you a criminal.
(Most of the above is directed at the general public not the author of the post I linked to.)
