If you don't like what Phorm and VM are doing, complain, opt-out, or use a proxy.

It's that simple.

it appears you dont quite get it, by design or otherwise is yet to be determined.

infact Phorm ARE doing something compleatly different to the other companys.

Phorm are the only 3rd party commercial company signing commercial contracts with the internet backbone ISPS and putting a direct connected 'profiler' and related kit inline of every single users payed for and contracted direct connection.

there is NO way to stop any and all of your data streams being intercepted by this Phorm supplyed and installed Profiler kit inside the ISPS data centers.

NO other 3rd party companys have any such intercepting kit in any ISP.

plus, these other 3rd party commercial companys are using mear site based data collection, and you DO have the choice NOT to goto these sites, and so not be subject to their data collection of what you do there.

does this clear up your current misconception somewhat, and help you finally understand the basic problem here with Phorm and the contracted ISPS plans?.
