Loading ...I’ll be posting a lot more on this soon, but for now, this snippet from the Hermes project:
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is looking into a request from serial anti-Phorm campaigner Alexander Hanff to launch a private prosecution over BT’s stealth trials of the controversial contextual advertising system.
The trials had previously been cleared by the City of London police, which has led BT doing a full trial out in the open at the moment.
The CPS confirmed on Wednesday that they are looking into the case, but were unable to say how long it would take to come to a conclusion on whether a prosecution will happen or not.
CPS are looking at the case, but that is as far as it goes right now. From my perspective, the issue isn’t so much with the Phorm technology, as with how BT are alleged to have initially deploy it. See this ealier piece: BT on Top Phorm?
Phorm now have a huge amount of information on their site about how Phorm works, and BT have put an opt-in policy in place for current trials.
