More details from petition creator

Advertising companies are planning to monitor private internet traffic from within Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in order to build profiles of users and deliver advertising known as Behavioural Targeted Advertising (BTA).

This petition is not against BTA generally. Due to the extreme personal sensitivity of data carried over the internet together with major problems providing safeguards and oversight when data is collected, not to mention maintaining network integrity and security, we believe the only sensible option is to prevent companies from profiling private internet traffic.

Legislation already exists and some experts have stated the practice could be illegal but currently laws seem to be ignored and unenforced. We would like the Prime Minister to both ensure that the existing laws are sufficient to stop this practice and also that the Police and regulators are in a position to enforce them.
