Yet again they have missed the point, it is our data, nobody has the right to intercept that datastream.

The ICO is not fit for purpose.

They miss the point on RIPA and refuse to even look at the matter.

They miss th epoint on the original Home Office Statemment.

They miss the point on this whole sorry system.

This is not a tootless watchdog, it is one with its mouth wired up and lips sown together.
Alexander, you should take this as a compliment. They seem to be using your research to tell what regulations are applicable.

Seriously though, this statement from the ICO is a step in the right direction. Every piece of further scrutiny makes life harder for Phorm/Webwise.

Also, a vote in favour of a private forum rather than IRC. Work would not be happy with me running an IRC client.
