Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

Thing is though the device they have in place intercepts your data and profiles it BEFORE you get the chance to opt in or not even if you opt out it still has to go through there Box at the headend or local exchange constantly - No Escape ;(.
They think putting a user interface tacked on to a microshuttle pc with 2x 2tb harddrives which beams info back to phorms offices based in another country is legal sorry its not.

And as for there laughable targetted ads how can they know what adds your interested in without matching the randomly generated number they give you on the way in to your ip address, just serving random ads on everybody isnt targeted, therfore for that reason it has to give xx ip address a profile so they do know who userx is so how is the information unidentifiable, its not = pr bull.

Everyone who has comented on the matter in hand so far has been paid by phorm to produce these reports hence there sitting on the pr 80/20 meeting, where is the TRUE independent analysis be it by an unlinked highly qualified individual or unlinked government appointed individual (I Know alexander is sitting in tonight and good luck to him but as part of the pr tactics of said B-M already linked with 80/20 thinking in strategy i cant reiterate there tactics enough see below).

"One of the most effective PR tools is the “third party” technique, where a firm will hire an “expert” to speak on behalf of a company <-- this time they commisioned 2 experts. People don’t generally trust corporate executives who say a product is harmless (say cigarettes, Teflon cookware or household insecticides), but are more likely to believe the same words from a scientist. And sometimes even more effective than hiring experts is getting average citizens to do the same. PR firms have time and again managed to create the illusion of public support for corporate causes through front groups"

Who has seen the source code for the software that the device will drive?
Answer - nobody
Probably just the same jank that 121 media invented all that time ago but got beaten by ad/spyware removers and anti virus companies except this time its at the isp end crammed into a tiny box with tacked on profiling software and a front end which is anonyomous as what they mis-tell people
over and over.

Stand up and defeat this bogus and shamfull company now just imagine more privacy invasion and junk which you cant bypass to contend with i know i have and the thought stinks .
