Worth noting too that the report NEVER mentioned Phorm by name. The news piece was done by Julia Caesar.
The IC doesn't need to state it was illegal, all the IC needs to confirm is whether or not there was an interception. If there was then this would logically have to go before a Judge (and Jury) in order for a judgement of guilt (and thus illegality). So if the IC has stated this was an interception as the News24 headline suggest, then it is a very significant headline.
