Yep, great Easter, thanks, hope you enjoyed the break yourself - you needed it! Glad you're back, things were getting a bit one sided while you were gone

Definitely not! I totally agree with you! ( See, we can agree on some things
)Which is why I do my best to block all ad cookies and other things with my browser add-ons

In theory, yes (oh dear, I'm agreeing with you again, this is getting to be a habit!) But at what price?
What I'm against is my internet browsing being hijacked, mirrored, scanned even though I'm going to opt out. I also object to the Phorm software scanning my private webforum. Where is the opt out button for website owners?
Also, what worries me, is that although you make various promises, both here and elsewhere on various blogs etc, a lot of what Phorm says contradicts itself, or is a downright lie. How can we believe what you say? For example, What did Virasb Vahidi recently tell the New York Times?
“We actually can see the entire Internet.†How does that sit with your post above where you suggest that Phorm is on our side privacy wise? Also, there is the matter of the Phorm patent. If you want to create and foster an attitude of ' your privacy is our highest concern' then why does you patent say different?
Your turn . . .
