"A spokesman for the Internet Service Providers Association (ISPA) said the 2002 E-Commerce Regulations defined net firms as "mere conduits" and not responsible for the contents of the traffic flowing across their networks.

He added that other laws on surveillance explicitly prohibited ISPs from inspecting the contents of data packets unless forced to do so by a warrant."

The obvious question then is what has changed since the 15th February to make this now legal?

Really good article. Thanks for posting it Winston. Cheers

It really strikes me that Phorm must be very ignorant to peoples concerns and according to the above quote are in blatant breach of the law.

They clearly don't give a monkeys about anyone's privacy or rights. Now where is that petition???
