Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

as i have been to school today i went and had a word about this phorm-webwise business as id already had a word with some of the parents about this issue to my astonishment the headmistress and deputy head and there ict teacher was unaware of this phorm-webwise business i explained about the schools data protection approach as it violates the schools data protection forms they hand out each year to parents and was redirected to the district data protection for schools

at this moment will get intouch with them tommorow to see where my data protection rights stand and where my childrens data protection rights stand within the school when they use there computers to go on the internet within school time as we are handed leaflets to go on net after school for education perposes

ebay t&cs are rather interesting

http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policie...agreement.html

? has anyone started this kitty off for donations to allexander
as most of time i like my freebies on net and as this is worth the donation i have to give for someone to fight this its worth it totally

Great work, Portly_Giraffe and Florence!

related to this invation of privacy and data export.....under Jacqui Smith OC ,no wonder she ignored the Phorm questions.

perhaps a seperate set of questions to the lords on this matter.....

its hard enough getting access yourself, if you were to send a DPA request for any footage of you they might have, and the US gets all this for free .....

Secret pact allows the US to spy on UK motorists

Big Buddy is watching y'all

By Egan Orion: Monday, 21 April 2008, 4:16 PM


THE UK Home Secretary secretively signed a "special certificate" last year that gives foreign security agencies real-time access to traffic camera images and related data monitoring British motorists on highways throughout the UK.

Opposition politicians and civil liberties advocates yesterday accused Gordon Brown's government of attempting to hide from Parliament its covert plans to facilitate international surveillance of UK citizens in violation of privacy laws.

Under the authorisation signed last July 4 by Jacqui Smith, video feeds and still images captured from roadside TV cameras, along with personal data derived from them, can be transmitted out of the UK to countries such as the US, that are outside the European Economic Area

Since someone mentioned the Police. Looks pretty much the same as the others, i.e. written consent only.

I wonder what these chappies would feel about forged cookies being dumped on our PCs in their name.

Well, hot on the heels of my previous post today .. I also used writetothem.com to send a message (similar to the Paul Clark one) to my MEP's .. one reply already .. from Nigel Farage (UKIP)

Quote:
Thank you for your message about the disturbing activities of "Phorm".

I wrote to the Information Commissioner on this subject, two weeks ago,
urging him to consider that Phorm's assertions of its activities'
legality were, at best, technical loopholes in the law. I await a
reply.

Since then, however, I have heard that the EU (a completely
non-democratic organisation) is attempting to introduce legislation,
which would make Phorm's invasion of privacy perfectly legal. The EU's
excuse for doing this is that the entertainment-industry should be able
to trace all downloads of music and films to ensure that
copyright-duties are paid.

The industry will be able to require ISP's to trace and store all the
web-activity of every user - ostensibly - for this purpose, but it is
obvious to me that the information made available, in this way, will
have a multitude of applications both commercial and political.

The UKIP - in the EU's largely fake "parliament" - together with allies
on the Right and the Left, has already begun to fight these proposals
and scored an initial victory with the introduction (by a mere 17 votes)
of an amendment (to a stalking-horse proposal) which deplores the EU's
adoption of a code of penalties for internet-users.

The Commission now knows that there is a potential majority, in the
Assembly, against an internet-surveillance directive, but it has other
ways of introducing such instruments, and will be impossible to block in
the long run.

Ultimately, the only way to prevent such measures - and avoid the growth
of a totalitarian state of "Europe" - is to break the EU's hold over its
disenfranchised populations - starting with the UK.

Yours sincerely

Nigel Farage

I'd be careful of getting too involved with Mr Farage - as you can see from his reply, his concern may not really be privacy, his concern is more likely to be anything that shows EU in a bad light. That is a separate issue.

Fringe political parties do have a record of using ANY issue to further their own interests - I would recommend supping with a very long spoon indeed if you go down that road.

It's probably a safe bet that BT will exclude any site from the trial that is big enough and may be inclined to sue. They must be pretty nervous about it as it is.

Where would the BBC site stand if it's users in the UK were profiled for the purposes of advertising?

Isn't BBC meant to be a signed up member of OIX anyway?
