Like a bad case of the clap, peddler of advertising powered by illegal use of DPI technology Phorm has resurfaced in Brazil.
Phorm and the UK “government” might just come to realise that the backlash against internet snooping and illegal DPI based advertising is a serious one.
The EU has announced that it is moving to the second phase of its proceedings against the UK government over its failure to enforce laws protecting internet users’ privacy.
Nazi war criminals are still prosecuted for their crimes from years ago. Other criminals are prosecuted for their crimes in previous years. Why shouldn’t those involved in allowing these crimes to happen face judicial process?
Those involved in the collaboration with BT and Phorm, whoever they are, whatever their status and regardless of for whom they were working must face the courts.
Which do you think is more likely? Phorm publishing that legal opinion or my touring South Africa with England as an opening batsman and swing bowler this winter?
Is Kent Ertugrul venturing into the world of Paul Daniels and making things vanish?
Whoever is peddling it, the use of Deep Packet Inspection in this way is still illegal. Watch Dr Richard Clayton’s arguments if you don’t believe me. It doesn’t matter if it’s Kent Ertegrul, Gene Hunt, Led Zeppelin, Nigella Lawson fronting the operation. The law is the law.
