I found out about the meeting here. and had a brief word with friends at FIPR. They told me they were unaware.

I hope they are going to get an invite. I've also recommended in a letter to the EC Commissioners that they should talk to FIPR (or even me) when they visit.

I hadn't thought of ORG...

I bet they would be interested too.

Hi guys I'm still here and attempting to do my li'l bit in raising awareness through satire and parody. I'm really worried about the surveillance society and "database state", praise David Davis and am against anything like Phorm.

My latest piece takes a satirical look across all these issues.

If you like it, please Digg it up and pass it round to raise awareness of these issues I feel really strongly about.

Mods note I hope you dont mind posting the links. I don't get paid for these and neither does any other writer on the site, I get no reward whatsoever for traffic I'm just trying to raise public awareness.

Good point I'll put that in...along with the fact that file transfer will be too slow because of the 24/7 capping, and the fact that I won't be a Virgin customer anyway if they introduce Kreepy Kent's little piece of poison.

I'm going to have fun with this...

have fun with it we did with the BT one, the comment box was very handy

popper · 17-06-2008, 15:31

it didnt take them long to swing the PR quote did it.

funny how they forgot to provide the http://www.theyworkforyou.com/lords/...c=17958#c17958 links to the debate with its fully Open comments, or include the "poorly equipped for this debate" quote.

but we are making sure they get better equipped with the facts PDQ

we also have quotes from Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer,and are sure to get a few more soon

lets see if they also PR those quotes on the Phorm Blog

>From Phorm's own website:

Phorm praised in the House of Lords
http://blog.phorm.com/?p=22

Baroness Miller, a champion of consumer rights as regards data protection
who has called for tougher penalties for those who mishandle data or commit
data breaches, spoke about Phorm as an authority and expert in the field;
she pointed the Lords to the recent Economist article on Phorm and says we
are a company that is "on the cutting edge of what can protect the
public"...

OK I have been doing some more work on the AdWords campaign today and will be making a few changes to existing articles and creating a few new articles on the NoDPI web site to make the site more cohesive with AdWords.

The first article is an update on the petition:

Just curious, I wonder if Baroness Miller knows her details are being used to endorse a product on a public web site?

We need to start putting together some catchy slogans for banners that we can use on the 16th July.

As this thread gets a lot </understatement> of posts can I suggest we have a separate thread dedicated to the Protest?

Some slogans for starters (apologies if these have already been posted. If they have let me know and I'll edit for credits).

. Web wise?
.. Web lies
... Web spies
They know *everything* you do online

BT Introduces...
Nineteen Eighty PHORM

Prosecute BT for secret trials !

Why is uk.gov letting this happen?

Just a little point. I'm not sure the general public will understand the term "uk.gov". That's just my opinion.

I like "Nineteen Eighty PHORM"

Doesn't say anything we haven't seen before but it is written by a qualified technology lawyer!

Well spotted. Might send them a letter to thank them for looking at this and giving it web space (not they have any commercial interests OC).

Perhaps they will even consider doing some work on it to emphasise their credentials as defenders of the rights of the public (if they are not too busy ...perhaps)

Well we need someone since 80/20 can't be relied on to protect the public privacy and privacy international is no help to us. Kent is a typical sales man economical with truth calls in favours from the disreputable and cons those who should know better.
