The thing that really scares me about this is not Phorm, Not VM or BT. But the ICO

When T5 were planning to collect fingerprint data on passengers, The ICO stepped in very quickly and the fingerprint plan was dropped among lots of Positive how good we are being PR spin.

Yet 4+ weeks on since the Phorm story broke, despite the experts saying that this is illegal both the ICO and Plod do nothing.

Then when they do finally say something the issue a PR spin Phorm written press release.

And they say china is bad.. UK PLC who do not give a crap for the security and privacy of the population.

At least if I buggered of to china I would be opting-in to privacy invasion.
