10 Downing Street Petition

This is to invite views on including a section relating to the Petition at http://[petitions].number10.gov.uk/ispphorm/

(Added [] as original link is blacklisted).

"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Stop ISP's from breaching customers privacy via advertising technologies." Submitted by Mark Antony Thompson – Deadline to sign up by: 04 March 2009 – Signatures: 21,399. ^[1]

Here are some supporting secondary references;ISP review the reg

Also this is an official British Government site (here is its FAQ page: http://[petitions].number10.gov.uk/faq).

"Every person who signed the petition will receive an email detailing the Government's response to the issues raised."

I had a stab at it but it was removed because of "POV", so how best to proceed?

I'm not sure there is any way to add information about a petition, as it will only have a single source, and not meet NPOV. Also there is a reason that the No10 petitions site is blacklisted. The only reason I looked at this article is because Radio 4's You and Yours talked about it, then I saw a biased section and removed it. Unless the petition gets wider coverage (AP, BBC for a start), then there is no way to add that information, unless you add it as a passing comment. Darrenhusted (talk) 23:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Phorm petition attracts over 18,000 signatures David Neal - vnunet.com, 03 Oct 2008

"The anti-Phorm petition is currently the fourth most popular entry on the UK government's e-petitions web site."
"However, BT said the petition was “misleading” and “flawed”." “The system doesn't breach privacy - it's an improvement for online privacy over what is offered today,” said Jonathan Carter, senior media manager at BT. “It's flawed as Kent Ertugrul has apparently signed up to the petition - twice!”
