Interesting article from Mark Watts on the Risk Management blog at Computer Weekly today with the snippet below requiring Britain to respond to the EU commissioner in respect of whether Phorm complies with data protection legislation.

Phorm is something I was blogging about recently in relation to developments in online advertising.

"Britain must provide an explanation to the European Union on whether Phorm, the controversial online advertising system that monitors web traffic, complies with data protection legislation.

The UK government has until the end of the month to respond to a letter from Viviane Reding, the EU's commissioner for information society and media, seeking clarification.

The contents of the letter, sent in mid-July, have not been disclosed."
