Anyone reckon VM might try to fast-track something if the date is significant?

In case no-one else has pointed it out yet - the anti-Phorm petition is now at No 3 after only two months.
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/ .... and this thread goes over 6000 posts. Keep it up! |

So although vicz postette was a slightly amusing piffle it should really be read like a packet of cancer smokes with 80% of the box covered in health warnings. Q) Do you want to join Webwise for free and receive anti-phishing protection and more relevant advertising? ****************** *** W A R N I N G *** ****************** WebLies will seriously damage your privacy and is a dangerous system written by Russian Hackers responsible for some of the most malicious spyware/rootkits ever produced.

Hmm I think we are danger of losing the plot a little bit here. All I want is to use my VM broadband knowing that my browsing is not being profiled or processed in any way by VM or their scumware lackeys. I don't feel any obligation to defend those who are too stupid / apathetic to not opt in to something they don't understand. I don't feel any particular animosity to VM for investigating phorm, they couldn't afford to ignore a technology that was touted to make them £85m a year - equiv to approx 150,000 users - and they certainly couldn't allow BT to steal a march on them with this unchallenged. They have not deployed it yet - there is no real evidence even of them having trialed it outside of the lab - and whatever way any opt-in question is phrased many users will agree to opt-in because they trust the Virgin brand and trust that VM will not screw them over. And generally VM are one of the more consumer-friendly companies out there, which doesn't make them saints because, after all, they are in business to make money. For many it is the strength of their brand and the image of the bearded one that engenders this trust, hopefully we can help VM understand the consequences to the Virgin brand if people feel they have betrayed this trust. The fact is VM remain in the cable business which is more than Telewest or NTL managed, and their business is to sell advertising through as many channels as they can and they are pretty good at that aspect of it.

@vicz
As a user you may have the choice of whether to opt in or not. As a website owner I do not (unless I also remove my website from all search engines). |

Do we actually know if it is Google they look for in robots.txt or is it the any agent string? I posed this question a bit back and (unless I missed it) there was no answer:

Just had a thought here. Would it be worth us writing to the Advertising Standards Authority in particular with regards to Phorm and children seeing the adverts?
