One of the things I have noticed people doing (and tried to avoid myself - unsuccessfully) is leaving questions open, or asking more than one thing in a question as it provides a nice way for them to answer the bit they want to answer whilst avoiding the banana skin.

I consider this quite an important point that should be remembered, I will certainly try to do this in future.

Whose privacy are they enhancing; it would seem that the only privacy they are protecting is their own. Whatever you think about Google etc they do have records that can provide an audit trail of what they have been up to. Just look at the judge calling for all the YouTube access records.
BT/Webwise/Phorm/121Media on the other hand delete everything they have done as they go along..... no evidence for courts to see what they have been up to. Isn't this like a financial institution shredding all their documents as they go along?

Agreed, BT/Webwise/Phorm/121Media state they delete any evidence while at the same time they ask us to trust them with our data and what they do with it. There should be accountability. They are affectively saying 'trust us' but based on evidence we have obtained about all those parties involved up to now, it is a bit rich to imply that we should do so.

Is it possible that BT and Phorm have been playing a crafty game in only ever mentioning PII in relation to Webwise and OIX?

That could have been Phorm's/121Media's dream goal when they were playing around with their ContextPlus and Apropos rootkit. Frightening, but a good point.
