Here's my eight pennyworth for the ICO, submitted via their feedback form this evening.
Quote:
Following the ICO decision not to pursue the issue of the BT Phorm trials in 2006 and 2007, I have eight questions:
1. Did you see and review the legal advice BT received before the Phorm trials in 2006 and 2007? Which counsel provided it?
2. Why do you accept BT's assurances that no personally identifiable information was processed, stored or disclosed during either trial when the whole point of Phorm/ Webwise is to do just that?
3. The data in the BT trials was processed at sysip.net, a domain operated outside the BT network by 121media, whose products were categorised as malware by reputable anti-virus companies. On what basis do you think privacy was not at risk?
4. You say you do not propose to pursue this issue further with BT because they were unable to provide clear advice to their customers and the trial was technical in nature. Does that mean that any ISP, telecoms provider or postal service will be allowed to carry out a similar scheme if its operation is equally opaque?
5. You say you do not propose to pursue this issue further with BT because the 2007 trial was small scale. Did BT tell you the exact number of users affected? How big does the level of interception have to be before you will take action?
6. Did you review the process used by BT to handle complaints about Phorm trials in 2006 and 2007 at the time they were taking place?
7. While BT claimed they could not contact one of the complainants, the complainant says that BT logged support, abuse, and customer service records in his name and was always available to be contacted. Who do you believe?
8. Why are you recommending that losses incurred by users of BT services be recovered through civil court processes when the criminal law has so clearly been broken?
