http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8135850.stm

its good to see a bad news company such as 'phorm' lose its shirt but don't bank on BT giving up on this type of intrusive tech its not in the nature of the BeasT …

In April, Amazon blocked Phorm from scanning its web pages to produce targeted advertising, as has the UK government, citing privacy concerns.


Hang on, isn't this the same government that's setting up massive central databases of e-mails, 'phone calls, websites visited etc, a national database of health records and the National Identity Register and ID Cards?

OH THE IRONY!! THE IRONY!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
