How many shares do you need to get into the AGM/ask awkward questions, and how much are they?

---------- Post added at 23:35 ---------- Previous post was at 22:34 ----------

Here's my eight pennyworth for the ICO, submitted via their feedback form this evening.

Quote:
Following the ICO decision not to pursue the issue of the BT Phorm trials in 2006 and 2007, I have eight questions:

1. Did you see and review the legal advice BT received before the Phorm trials in 2006 and 2007? Which counsel provided it?

2. Why do you accept BT's assurances that no personally identifiable information was processed, stored or disclosed during either trial when the whole point of Phorm/ Webwise is to do just that?

3. The data in the BT trials was processed at sysip.net, a domain operated outside the BT network by 121media, whose products were categorised as malware by reputable anti-virus companies. On what basis do you think privacy was not at risk?

4. You say you do not propose to pursue this issue further with BT because they were unable to provide clear advice to their customers and the trial was technical in nature. Does that mean that any ISP, telecoms provider or postal service will be allowed to carry out a similar scheme if its operation is equally opaque?

5. You say you do not propose to pursue this issue further with BT because the 2007 trial was small scale. Did BT tell you the exact number of users affected? How big does the level of interception have to be before you will take action?

6. Did you review the process used by BT to handle complaints about Phorm trials in 2006 and 2007 at the time they were taking place?

7. While BT claimed they could not contact one of the complainants, the complainant says that BT logged support, abuse, and customer service records in his name and was always available to be contacted. Who do you believe?

8. Why are you recommending that losses incurred by users of BT services be recovered through civil court processes when the criminal law has so clearly been broken?
I should have the revised version of inphormationdesk live tomorrow evening.

Hmm...
thought I might ask some awkward questions of my own but the ICO website seems to be misbehaving...

Perhaps the Phorm/Webwise servers are down there also (Who knows what side they are on?)

Truely scary!!! I watched 2hrs worth of George Orwells worst predictions presented by Steven Rambam a private investigator that uses these Orwellian databases to track and profile people.

Will people wake up and pay attention to this nightmare? No they won't not until it's too late, then they will have to resign themselves to virtual slavery. If you think it's OTT now for someone to get a criminal record and have his DNA extracted for leaving his dustbin open a few inches (nowadays) just wait and see what is going to pass for normal in another 10yrs time.

I just watched the 1st hour. I feel you are dead right about the apathy of people leading to their virtual slavery. The apathetic response of many people both on and offline to the dpi for profit issue has made me dispair at times.

Don't know for certain if I can make the AGM but have secured two proxy votes from mum and partner how will the inside demonstration take form nice to let the shareholders know that we mean business and the voice should also be heard inside the AGM ,perhaps they will employ the mods as bouncers they are best at stopping anti BT comments and criticism.Whats the chances of being thrown off the forum and out of the AGM in the same season.
