    Government intervention on privacy?

    British MPs are starting to look at DPI, throttling, privacy and stuff

    An inquiry by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Communication will examine issues such as the emergence of Phorm's profiling system, and the restriction of bandwidth available to specific applications such as BitTorrent. Both activities are reliant on Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology.
