The threat is to our privacy, our right to not have our communications UNLAWFULLY intercepted. The fact that our clickstream data is going to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Its the thin edge of the wedge. I just knew you were going to bring up the issue of terrorism.

Heres the point. If the government/MI5 etc wants to do what phorm is going to be doing (intercepting communications) then they have to get a court order to do so. Phorm plans to do this by default just in order to push adverts.
