What Phorm is doing is not in my opinion legal, and thus very different!

May I also add that RIPA does have its weaknesses - in this case allowing a local council employee (unelected, often unanswerable to the public) to use terrorist level surveillance on what seem to me to be non-terrorists.
Whether I like it or not due process was followed and the letter of the law obeyed. I haven't seen too much of that with Phorm and BT.
