It's been reported that the European Commission has sent a message to the British government, warning them to deal with the controversial Phorm (WebWise) advertising system or the EU would be forced to bring the matter before the European Court of Justice. The Dow Jones offered this quote:


Phorm, which works with ISPs to anonymously monitor the websites you visit for development of targeted advertising campaigns, claims that its system is legal and hasn't been informed of the development. The UK government has so far declined to comment.

Speaking of which, the NoDPI site is this morning carrying a summary of yesterdays anti-Phorm protest outside BT's Annual General Meeting (AGM): https://nodpi.org .
