Exactly That's a crock of phorm right there, it wouldn't require they know anything, not even that a user had opted out. Instead customers have to opt out on every browser on every machine and even then phorm could still potentially get the request data

Out of interest, does anyone know how much revenue the phorm deal is likely to generate for VM monthly per user?
