Forums around the web reveal a mixed reception to Phorm technology. Many haven't heard of Phorm and (too) many don't seem too bothered. People can be very very lazy. Phorm and its hired help will be aware of this back door.
The focus has to move away from Phorm itself. We are expending bucket loads of energy on the tail when the head should be our target. We need ISP involvement and Government involvement. The Government are our paid representatives; they serve us and we want their service and we want it now.

The problem is, that the government and its repesentatives seem determined to ignore us. Looking back over the two hundred odd pages the best responses have come from opposition MPs/MEPs and Lords. Government departments seem to be falling over themselves to abjure responsibility for this. Whether they have ulterior motives or not, they are ignoring us. At the moment our best bet is the opposition and the public.
