What about a petition calling for a judicial review? (is this the right terminology) of all data profiling at an ISP level, including Phorm, Xiam, NebuAd (currently US only) with a view to set out clear guidelines over what ISPs can and cannot do under RIPA and the DPA legislation. This should include advertising technologies, copyright infringement detection (see IRMA vs Eircom in Repulic of Ireland), DPI technologies for speed.
The problem though with a new petition is that it may "split the vote". Since petitions are only a gauage of public opinion and have no legal or parliamentary significance it could be argued it's best not to bother. Admittedly the new one could be better worded, or more specific, but I think we're probably better off just getting the current one as high as possible up the list, using it as an example of public opinion.
Check the BBC technology page. I think there'll be enough authoritative voices calling for BT to be strung up on this.
