Criticism for 'UK database' plan
I know Dephormation Pete and some others mention some pages back that they felt this was a side issue, but reading some of the comments by people in this article,
and considering that we are talking about privacy and the legallity of what Phorm and our ISPs are up to regarding mass grabs of our date, I think this is now relevant...
... especially when you see comments like the last one in the article.
Quote:
According to Gus Hosein, a senior fellow at Privacy International, the latest proposals could be even more controversial.
"The idea that ISPs need to collect data and send it en masse to central government is, without doubt, illegal," he said.

So, Gus, presumably, the idea that ISPs need to collect data and send it en masse to private companies to feed us unwanted advertising is also, without doubt, illegal. JMHO
Should make the PIA from 80/20 interesting reading.
