Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

Following #4630 and having received no response in the week(ish) since it was sent I have sent a follow-up

Quote:
It's been almost a week since I first inquired about the Phorm system, is there any news of a response?

I note from the webwise.bt.com website that "BT plans technical trials of BT Webwise in April 2008."

Given we are now at the end of April 2008 and your website still reads as above, I can only assume you have gone ahead with the trials. If that is the case BT should have no problems in providing answers to the questions I have posed. It also leads me to assume that it is possible that traffic from my web sites may have been intercepted without my consent. With this in mind, in case the inference from my original mail was not clear, I specifically DO NOT consent to traffic to and from my web sites being intercepted by, or, on behalf of any person or organization and would like to know how you plan to exclude my sites?

Further I wish to make sure you understand that I do not want BT or Phorm to use robots to scan my web-sites and would like to know what agent you use so I can specifically block said agent within my robots.txt files.

I also understand that the Phorm system will be placing cookies purporting to be from my site on the computers of participating users. I am sure this would be in breach of the Computer Misuse Act as that is claiming to be someone you are not (interestingly, something you claim webwise will guard against!).

If I do not hear from you by the end of the week, I shall take this matter further.
