I have also another fear what Phorm will do to us who opt out and even worse for them if we force ISP's to make it opt in only system. Lets be honest if we do get our way force ISP to make sure opted out dont get profiled too. Who in the right mind would opt in and let them. Likely it would become a massive flop, I just cant see this company taking it lieing down seeing there revenue streams evaporate and fear they will do something.

The company is so shady I will completely be not suprised at some sort of reprisal if they dont get there nasty little way.

Possibly they will go back to rootkit development maybe with even more potential nastiness with added spam. I also wonder could they be able to set up a profiler system via a rootkit system.
