If you search in
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/03...ripa/comments/ for Privacy International you'll see a very telling communication. Evidently PI are not officially endorsing Phorm at all and Phorm are abusing PI's name and reputation. To think that major ISPs are falling for this - it's utterly shameful.

"Phorm are claiming (as per the page at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02...ing/page2.html) that Privacy International have given the technology the thumbs-up. I quote directly from that page:
"A spokesman rubbished the links to PeopleOnPage that have worried some Reg readers. "The previous company was involved in the adware space, but that was a long time ago," he said. "We're actually setting a whole new gold standard in online privacy." He said Privacy International had given the technology the thumbs-up."
I have used the search facility to search for "Phorm" and found nothing.
Please could you confirm what "thumbs-up" or other endorsements PI have given to Phorm. I would appreciate it if you could be as clear and precise as possible so that I can pass your information on to other concerned people. "
Any reply will be posted here.
