Channel 4 news did a piece on Phorm and the meeting last night. Was very good. At a guess lasted about 2 -3 minutes. Kent got some quotes in. Nothing we haven't heard before from him and his PR drones. Dr Richard Clayton got some points in including how he thought it was illegal.
Simon Davies was very impressive with what I saw. He argued that a solution could be found to this, that it must go ahead with an "informed opt-in" etc.
The report even mentioned the fact that BT carried out trials without asking consent over the last two years and explicitly mentioned that tens of thousands of people were involved. It stated that BT/Phorm were due to start a trial involving 10,000 people but that they were going to ask permission this time.
Sorry I cant remember everything that was said as I was agitated by a few things that the jackal has said so was half paying attention to the programme and part replying to him. I hope they will cover it in more detail this evening.
