Brussels to sue UK over Phorm failures

Shurely Shum Mistake

Hmmm, AFAIK Phorm isn't live with any ISP at present. Therefore it's hard to see on what basis the EU have based their accusations unless it's outdated/uninformed information spoon fed by the antis.

If consumers opt-in as part of their ISP contract, perhaps as part of a discount scheme or something similar, and are fully aware of the consequences then any Privacy issues are null and void.

Since no-one outside Phorm and their partners has any idea whatsoever how it will be implemented, and there are various options available, this all seems to be a bit of bargaining by the EU to force the UK into accepting some other bit of legislation.
