Criminal case against BT being considered

Following the European Commission’s legal proceedings against the UK for failing to take any action over behavioral targeting, the Crown Prosecution Service is working on a potential criminal case against BT over its trials of Phorm’s system.

The CPS has reportedly said “we have requested and received technical and expert evidence, some of which we have only recently received, and which is being very carefully considered. We are currently awaiting advice from a senior barrister which we will review before coming to a conclusion. We are giving the matter meticulous attention and will reach a proper and considered decision as soon as it is possible for us to do so.”
