well that's a good thing Alexander, after all, this protest is just the latest high profile event as regards this whole world ISP DPI data collection saga, the more the meryer.

BTW,"Today the citizens of Haltemprice and Howden are re-electing David Davis as their MP".

as mentioned in the http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/index.php news letter.

he's only had 2 redeem's today though so far, people are slacking ...

Quite an entertaining little debate seeing 192.com trying to defend the practice of opt in as standard ( it helps families find each other through us,and allows parents to check up on prospective (? baby sitters)) .

Shown at around 16.30 today.

I've edited my post because those links were not infact to the studio interview with 192.com,which i was watching,and i suspect you may not have seen it either.

Sorry guys,those links do talk about it,but none of them are of the studio interview between 192.com and the privacy defender that was on the news24 channel shown today at about 16.30,maybe it's yet to be put on their website,but please do try to track it down,as it reminds me of our own resident shining light Mr Hanff,defending our rights against these tricksters.

Hmmm. You only have to shout about "Pilots" of a new system if you've got less chance of an actual rollout!

Interesting too that the ISP company logos seem to have gone AWOL too. First there were three, then there were two, and now there are none.

Surely BT haven't deserted them?

I knew they were only having a hot date with TalkTalk and the relationship had cooled off rapidly, I heard they were engaged to Virgin Media but VM didn't really want to talk about it, but I was sure that they actually had something going with BT and were living together and sharing stuff and servers and all that. Maybe they've had a tiff and Kent has sent back the logo? Or BT asked for it back? Or the web designer just forgot it?

Or could it be copyright problems with using stuff from the ISP sites?

Perhaps someone from Phorm can assist us.

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

The changes to their web site re: Opt-In/Opt-Out clearly illustrates that they are still planning to use an Opt-Out model (or they would just say it is Opt-In and avoid mentioning Opt-Out at all).

Last time I saw that much BS was when I was visiting a farm in the country last year with my son. Their "new" website is quite amusing though, they are very clearly on the defensive and seem very worried that they are screwed, which is understandable because they are screwed.

I know it's Friday night but where's everyone gone?
I noticed also on Phorms updated website in the section labelled news/endorser/quotes there is a repeat of the statement from Hansard that Baroness Miller made in the HoL on 12/6. Surley there should be a rebuttal of this now that she has been shown the true nature of the beast?
In fact, though I couldn't bring myself to read all of it (phorm), the little I saw seemed to be full of contradictions, lies and self-praise but no truthful explanations for the unknowing to see.

Chris.

I've checked cookies and have, in fact, got 9 cf cookies showing at this time. Everything was fine up until yesterday. Ah well, no big deal I can still sign in if/when I want to say something. Thanks anyway.

Pete.
The word Phorm does appear on the eBay link page now - "Raison D'etre - Within the Depths of Silence and Phorm"...ations - CD on CMI

I have never understood the way eBay bids on any search terms - even searches on domain names often gives eBay offering to sell it.

Did anybody think to ask 192 about the scrapping of websites they were doing before they first published their 'directory'? Very badly behaved bot they were using too.

I've been doing some transcription.

Not being a professional it's slow going. Done 0:59:18 to 1:04:45 so far. Going to get some rest and start again in the morning.
