Bzzz just scanned your input on this page through my phorm detector shows me a few things according to my super unique database profiling heres your ad's for geology,chocolate,and impact on the north pole report.

Totally relevant advertising wouldnt you just love it
or is there deeper keylogging kit locked away in source code ooo .

Most likely would be the same old totally irrelevant coming down to which advertiser paid biggest wonga as ever.
Phorm fail yet again, if anyone would like to point out 1 reason anyone from phorm whishes to spin on what benefit it has id be glad to take it apart for them in normal users speak.

FIPR calls on Home Office to withdraw misleading advice on Phorm

Phorm storm[/URL] "[/LIST]
OMFG - that paper has made my day.

Can I draw everyones attention to paragraph 43. to parapharase, having established Phorm's cookie system is false representation it only remains for a jury to decide if it is dishonest. I think that is going to be an easy case for any prosecutor to make. Just read the jury all the security advisorys on 121media.

On a more serious note. I shall be sending this hardcopy to my mp to read. keep the pressure up etc.

The paper also states that directors and managers are criminally liable if RIPA is breached by them in deploying Phorm. Make sure you remind every senior customer service representative you speak to, get them nervous as well.

I know that ivillage is part of an online points scheme. You may well find that the other participants in this scheme are tied in with OIX as well...

Wouldn't buy anything advertised by Phorm system since doing so helps to link who you are to the cookie..

It's ironic that the PhormUKPRteam are probably being paid masses better than most county cricket spin bowlers to purvey undeniably vastly inferior spin...

Reading through this I don't see much room for spin to be honest.

This is good stuff, I'm taking it with me now while I pop out to get something to celebrate St George's Day.

It seems Mr Ertugrul has finally came round to our side of thinking,as he's signed the downing street online petition.

I followed the email route to the Attorny General's Office. This is, I'm afraid, what was said...

I said:

// MY EMAIL //
In 2006 and 2007 BT now openly admits that it secretly intercepted thousands of their customer's communications. They repeatedly state that no personal information was retained or used but I do not understand why this precludes them from investigation and possibly prosecution because as I understand it, the interceptions they carried out are in direct contravention of the law, according to 'RIPA'

The Information Commissioner directed complaints to the Home Office. The Home Office has stated that they have no investigatory powers and cannot require an investigation by the police. I have seen no indications that BT customers who know they were affected have achieved any action from their local police services.

I therefore write to you to ask whom is responsible for ensuring that the actions of individuals and the BT plc company are properly investigated because it would appear that this is being ignored. If they broke the law, this cannot be allowed to remain unchecked.

What steps have been taken already? What process is being followed?

Thank you.
// END OF MY EMAIL //

They replied:

// EMAIL FROM NAMED INDIVIDUAL xxxxx.xxxxx@attorneygeneral.gsi.gov.uk //

Thank you for your email to the Attorney Generals Office, your email has been passed to me for reply.

The Attorney General is principal legal advisor to government and as such is unable to offer legal aid or assistance to individuals, this office does not perform a investigatory function and in regards to your request we are unable to assist.

If you feel a crime has been committed then you should contact your local police authority for them to investigate. If you have not already tried them you could also contact the Office of Telecommunications Ombudsman, their web site address is www.otelo.org.uk

Yours Sincerely

Correspondence Unit
// END QUOTE //

So, who are we saying should actually be doing something about investigating and bringing BT to account for this???

Hank
