Home Office botch privacy consultation following Phorm case
Responding to the announcement that the Home Office are reviewing interception laws following EU action, Jim Killock, Executive Director of the Open Rights Group said:
“BT and Phorm breached thousands of people’s privacy by opening their web traffic without consent. Now the Home Office have been forced by Viviane Reding and the EU to review our interception laws.
“Holding a consultation on key privacy protections for barely four weeks, and failing to publicise it, is a disgrace. This is the latest in a long line of Home Office botches.”
