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

[Dephormation]

Some conclusions then;

• ICO have comprehensively failed to understand Phorm, or demonstrate independent regulation
• ICO have not adequately investigated the trials of 2006, and particularly 2007
• ICO have not sought any technical data from BT during the investigation
• ICO have not sought independent industry expertise
• European Commissioners have similarly been fooled into believing Phorm, effectively mass communication interception, was some kind of privacy enhancing technology
• Simon Watkin of the Home Office has been engaged with Phorm for 'some time' prior to January 2008
• BT have tried to pull the wool over the Information Commissioners, paying lip service to requests for information

Idiots all of them.

And we need to redouble the effort to get the message over.

I'm told Derek Wyatt MP is interested in Phorm.

I don't expect that means what I hope it means, but it would be nice to think so.

That's got to relate to the legal threats to Alex, surely?

EDIT : Great work Pete, have a coffee, your hands must be falling off!

Well done Pete, bloody brilliant.
Take Five.

re: MP's

I don't know about the House of Lords or the EU but the MPs go on their long summer holiday from 28th July.

If we don't get any action out of them by then I doubt we will until late September. It would be a shame if any support by them fizzles out.

I don't. I'm sitting down, because I'm lazy like that.

(BTW, hi again all. Once again, I go away for a few days and miss some massive bombshells.)

[tee cee]

Another "well done" here, Pete

Webwise, Phorm, BT, Talk Talk, Virgin Media, The Home Office and DOI, 80/20 Thinking, a veritable army of PR parasites, lawyers,etc ...

Not a truthful word
Not a shred of integrity
Nothing

Why am I NOT surprised ?

[serial]

WOW, excellent work Pete. Hopefully this will cause more bad publicity for BT and they won't want to start the trial at the same time.
