Similarly with friendsreunited name, schools attended and dates, all personally identifying an individual.
Many of the MySpace or similar pages contain enough information to identify an individual.
So everytime a BT/Webwise customer accesses those pages, Phorm processes personal information. Why doesn't the ICO understand this?

I am hoping in the ICO's case it is pure and simple incompetence. The other reasons I can think of could lead to some very serious accusations.
