Phorm Phun

[Andrew Cormack]

I've just come across (don't ask) Commissioner Reding's weekly video
message for 14th of April on privacy. Three threats to privacy are named
- social network sites with "default-permit" privacy settings,
behavioural advertising and RFID chips. Half way through there's a
not-very-coded warning to member states that don't get privacy
protection right... Well, it scared me ;-)
