so true there is worry how far they want to take it.
maybe in the future we will have hidden chips in our glasses which turns all adverts on billboards to personal data targeting.
Anybody getting a sort of The NET film feel to phorm. Next we will have all our identies taken.
Someone actually missed a massive issue to what phorm doing.
What do most sites do to try help protect your identity.
Thats it use a personal question PHORM will know everything about you in probable 1 year and could easily guestimate or even start to know these personal questions.
So now hackers and phorm will be able to get your password logins and even know the personal question to gain access.
I bet as soon as phorm goes live security breaches will increase big time.
ps anybody who has downloaded Dephormation firefox addon there is new update.

another thought what happens if we do get a true opt-out.
But a business who has a website with BT ISP signs up to phorm and we visit that website.
As an opt out surely we should not get phormed but that business wants us monitored so they can target me with phorm.
We got to remember the net brings cross platform ISP together and does this mean opt out would only be for websites under VM ISP and not others.
It also is a consideration for those who plan to goto ISP who dont want phorm.
As many websites will be in in the phorm you still might actually be profiled despite being opt out or non paticapating ISP the way I see it.
