Phorm in detail

Filed under: Online freedomMatthew Revell at 8:09 am

I’ve largely ignored the Phorm storm because other people are doing a great job of covering it.

I’m pleased to say that my new ISP of choice - Enta - are staunchly opposed to Phorm and a senior Enta manager is reportedly behind a site called the Anti Phorm League. Admittedly, right now I’m still with Virgin Media - one of the three planning to sell customer data to Phorm - but shall be leaving soon.

Anyway, Political Penguin - Wolves LUG member, local Labour activist and blogger - has been covering Phorm in quite some detail. Once he’s got hold of a subject, Gareth digs deep. He’s asked a great many relevant questions of Phorm - and received some replies - and also gives a great explanation of why Phorm is bad for you and me.
