There is a reason the EU is concerned with privacy and the issue of DPI investigating where you go on the net and I suspect the reason why the government of England wants to ok it, since they have become a huge big bother in the name of fighting terrorism.

All Phorm sees is dollar bills that they have managed to convince the ISPs could be theirs if they will just open the doors. They already had a couple convinced to do trials and it wasn’t until the privacy specter came up that anyone had a problem with this money making scheme. All over the globe are various governments saying you can’t do this without an opt-in clause.

Notice very closely that opt-in isn’t in the picture. They would rather have opt-out because with opt-in, no one in their right mind will agree. Even under the opt-out, your data didn’t get dropped. The hardware wasn’t configured to allow a separate stream for those not wishing to participate. So even if you objected, wanted out, and sent in the data to be removed, you weren’t. Sort of sounds like the sneaky methods used by less than shall we say “honest” businesses.

Yah, Phorm has a real problem with objectors to their methods. It’s getting in the way of them becoming rich. If just those pesky privacy nuts would go away, they could rake in millions. No I wonder why Phorm would object to anyone, refer to them by any slang tag name, or try to discredit them in any manner?

RIGHT!!!
Well written article, Phorm can go blow off! This smacks of desperation on their part
and I was tickled while reading your great satire. When I’m done here I will be visiting
your site to see what other trouble your stiring up!!
Keep up the good work!
