Richard Clayton's FIPR report states explicitly that the Webwise system uses DPI. Which means, beyond any possible debate, it is interception and therefore it is illegal. Is there any part of that which the I-don't-mind brigade don't get? How the hell can that be compared to WGA? The purpose of the profiling and the "anonymising" of the data are irrelevant - it's a freakin' crime. End of!
