The more I look at that BT 'consent' form the more angrier I get. If that is really BT's informed consent form to WebWise privacy spying, I hope it will be added to their list of crimes when they finally get their legal comeuppance.

Although I am angry, should I really be surprised?

After all, BT now has the joint experience of Phorm(121Media) and I suspect Phorms experience of how they originally got the uninformed public to allow rootkits and spyware to infest PC's to propagate their old ad spyware network. I personally see little difference in the presentation of this screen and presentation the PeopleOnPage bar.

In my opinion they both could fool the public as to what really happens to to your data and also the real intent of what the public could be agreeing to beforehand.
