Nooo, even then it does not comply with PECR. Firstly 3e does not remove the requirement of explicit informed consent. Secondly WebWise is a completely seperate entity to the OIX platform, so even if they managed to palm off some value added service for WebWise (the anti-phishing) it -still- doesn't cover them for the behavioural profiling for OIX which has nothing to do with the Anti-Phishing and is purely a commercial venture based around advertising.
Why are so many people seeming to try and make excuses for Phorm/BT today? We need to stop second guessing ourselves here folks otherwise any new readers are going to think there is some doubt over whether or not it is illegal, let me make it very clear there is no doubt whatsoever that without consent this technology is ILLEGAL. Myself and other more qualified experts have very thoroughly analysed the law on these issues months ago and there are no grey areas.

Agreed we can second guess all we like but the true facts are all that count, Phorm /webwise intercept you connection no matter how you try to cover this over it is illegal..... from there the scripting is no matter there is no benefit to the customer.
