Alexander I submitted a petition too. Details are:

British Telecom have admitted to carrying out secret trials of the Phorm system in 2006 and 2007. Neither BT/Phorm obtained consent from those customers involved in the trials and therefore violated section 1 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000. This is an offence which can carry a sentence of up to 5 years in prison for each offence.

We request that the Prime Minister immediately order the Home Office and police to take steps to initiate a criminal prosecution of BT and Phorm for these offences.

************************************************** ****************

On the page where it said if you wanted to make a comment to the web team I also said:

Please note this petition is very distinct in substance from the current petition relating to Phorm which relates to future changes of privacy laws.

This petition, in contrast, is calling on the Prime Minister to act in order to enforce the current laws and ensure that BT and Phorm are prosecuted for past actions that contravened the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000. Refusal of this petition on grounds of duplication would be erroneous.

Lets see what they do now. I arent giving up.
