Given where it started with my initial assertion, and the Home Office reply...
“…. it is clear your office were advising Phorm in January 2008. Well before the public announcement of agreements between Phorm and Internet Service Providers”
The Home Office was approached by a number of parties, both technology providers and ISPs, seeking a view about issues relating to the provision of targeted online advertising services, particularly their relation to Part 1 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000. The single response to those requests was made in the informal guidance note, dated January 2008, which was not made available to any of those parties until 4 February 2008.
Please now inform me
- Whether the Home Office were made aware of the secret trials conducted by Phorm in 2006/7
It wasn’t.
- Whether the Home Office authorised secret trials conducted by Phorm in 2006/7
The Home Office was not aware of the trials/tests.
- When you first started advising BT and Phorm (and other ISPs)
Asked for a view we gave that view to all parties who asked for it on or after 4 February 2008.
...
the information we now know paints a quite different picture of Home Office involvement, and awareness of Phorm.
I hope at some point the mainstream press will step in and rip this corrupt Government, and BT, to shreds over the Phorm scandal. (
