If you think the PR story on the BBC News website contains factual inaccuracies (and you may spot one or two!) you can complain about it here http://news.bbc.co.uk/newswatch/ukfs/hi/newsid_3950000/newsid_3955200/3955259.stm
i. e. they have cracked first! It seems the ISPs are realising that they are responsible for the illegal wiretap, and Phorm's hands are clean (if slimy). Still, some credit to TT even if their motives aren't entirely altruistic.
A search for Phorm or Webwise on the Privacy International website shows 0 hits so what exactly are they supposed to have endorsed?
While the use made of the information for advertising may (or may not) be as Phorm describes, what prevents them from doing anything else with it? What ongoing oversight is there? (none?).
Mothers who can't/wont name the father. Fathers who don't know/don't care who their children are. Fathers who could pay but won't because they know there is little chance of any sanctions being used against them, especially if they play the 'suicidal' card. Fathers who genuinely lack the means to pay but who are still bogged down in the process. Mothers who are determined to cause as much mischief as possible to 'get even'. People who lie. People with disfunctional lives. People who know how to play the system. Foreign residents. Immigrants legal and illegal. The bad, the mad and the feckless. Organised crime. Child trafficking. Fraud. Collusion. Ah yes, not complicated at all...
Of course scientology and the Xenu story are absurd, but all scriptures are absurd (although it seems that only scientology makes you buy their 'bible' one book at a time). And all religions rely on brainwashing to prevent their followers questioning their absurdity, only in traditional doctrines we call this 'faith'.

Question: What did Privacy International endorse?

Faith v Brainwashing
