I have tried to ask a clear and unequivocal question by emailing the folk at
commsdata@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk - that is:
"Between 23 September and 6 October 2006 and again in June 2007, BT trialled Phorm, a technology for intercepting, reading and analysing private Internet communications. At no time was consent sought from or granted by either the tens of thousands of users whose traffic was intercepted or the owners of the websites which they accessed.
Please tell me whether you intend to instigate criminal proceedings against BT and named individuals such as Emma Sanderson for breaching the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000."
I'm not optimistic that they will answer this, but if they do I will let the board know.
