Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77 & 102]

none. Maybe there will be a legal challenge to the system, I nearly choked on my chips when somebody pointed out that the so called privacy "audit" carried out by Earnst and Young may only apply in America.

I dunno, as annoyed as I am by this, something tells me that a few people in VM are going to wake up to the fact that this is not the way forward, or at least not the right time to be considering this.

EDIT:

Opting out. Just got this from BT @ http://webwise.bt.com/webwise/how-it-works.html

Looks like your opt-out request if this goes ahead Mick is not worth the electricity your note to retentions was recorded on.
