My position is that if BT want to make ill-prepared statements and expose themselves to this sort of stupidity, I am very happy to help them receive the consequences of their rashness. And having to answer a very large number of communications from Website owners in the next month could well get their attention.
It might even be that they begin to see the folly of their ways.
And of course we also need a lot of websites who simply quietly put a text notice on their sites stating that Webwise profiling is not allowed, and then monitor their logs to spot when Webwise does pass by, and then report the matter to the relevant body (which body that would be is still being clarified by good folks here).

Well you could try the lady doing the media appearances for BT in recent news stories - Emma Sanderson. The standard for emailing a BT executive is firstnameDOTlastnameATbtDOTcom
If you browse through the BT Beta forum threads here you could pick up a few more managerial monikers

I'd be interested to know how you get on. |
Many thanks for the Info. A job for tomorrow while at work I think.
BT have become so corrupt they can not see what they are doing, and the lack of any main stream media coverage is isolating them from a backlash.
I am sick of my elected representatives ignoring email and letters about this.
Maybe start a thread naming and shaming them. This close to an election, it may even remind them that it is the people who they work for, not vested interest.
