There is absolutely nothing so far to stop Phorm with regard to function creep. It would be very easy for Phorm to change the software and start snooping on traffic other than that on port 80.
How about you go read up more on Phorm, read the entire 10 page Richard Clayton report (I have) and then come back and tell us why the issue of function creep isn't an issue we should be worried about? Lets remember this is a company that has a very checkered past and even up until recently has shown that it cannot be trusted. You did read about their attempts to edit their own wikipedia entry didn't you?

FINALLY I get a legible answer out of you. It wasn't too hard was it ? Thankyou.
The references to the patent, function creep and Clayton's report have proved invaluable.
