Anyone interested in getting back on topic on this one and actually discussing the
content of the FOI revelations that I provided a link to?
for example - the TalkTalk explanation of how their system works and the difficulty of reconciling the claims of TT to not be processing personal data in the urls they intercept and harvest, with both the user experience of personalised urls being used by the TalkTalk system to access sites just accessed by customers (and breaking some of them because of that), and the website evidence that the urls used by the TalkTalk system did NOT have personal information removed from them?
Or the fact that the ICO are not happy that TalkTalk kept quiet about it even in regular liason meetings with the ICO during the period of the trial?
Or the fact that the ICO are not happy that customers weren't told by TT what was happening?
Or the fact that the ICO are still reserving their position on the DPA/PECR side of things and are not declaring it all legal and above board?
Still - if you prefer a discussion about how to squeeze the STalkSTalk genie back in the FOI/Whatdotheyknow bottle, don't let me stop you. Here's an article you will no doubt enjoy - Tony Blair explaining just how jolly difficult government can be with the FOI Act getting in the way. (about para 29)
