anyone else noticed the way webwise / phorm is setup, a child with a sub account can change the terms and conditions of the primary account holder as no authentication appears to be required just click yes on the webwise page?

interesting court cases coming me thinks

<spoof>

judge: so what is this case about?

BT punter: BT allowed my child to change my contract and now won't let me revert back or leave

judge: is this right BT?

BT: erm, erm maybe, but it was only a technical trial

judge : so BT you did not make the relevant check to ensure the person was the account holder and legally able to make the change?

BT: erm, erm, erm well no, not really we assume everyone was honest like us

Judge: case found against BT, BT to pay costs, damages for invasion of privacy and issue MAC code, next case please

<\spoof>
