Is the goverment using Phorm to spy on you?


There's fresh and disquieting evidence today that the tentacles of Phorm (the so-called "deep packet inspection" company) reach deep indeed - straight into the heart of the British government, writes Martyn Warwick.

The news has come to light after a member of the public made a request to see emails sent between Phorm and the UK Home Office (the British equivalent of a Ministry of the Interior) under the Freedom of Information Act and then passed them on to the BBC.

It transpires that since August 2007, one of the UK's three great Ministries of State has been in regular email contact (and who knows by whatever other means of communication) with a commercial, for-profit company whose snooping technology is causing considerable anger and opposition amongst Britain's Internet users.

I wonder where all the Lefties in the US are? Here is a technology that they should be demonstrating in the streets about and all they can talk about is destroying the CIA for inducing the gag reflex in 3 terrorists while 3000 Americans were killed on 9/11.

You know, the Left really does hate America. They just do.
