Hello everyone. Have been reading this post for quite a few days.
Has anyone thought of hoisting-phorm-on-their-own-petard?
That is taking adverts out in the local paper warning of the relationship between the spyware company, Phorm and the three ISP's.
I've had a look through the CAP codes at the ASA website, and can't find any reason why it can't be done, apart from perhaps the expense.

The benefit is that it would reach a much bigger crowd of casual surfer/non techie than say this site or badphorm.
What do you think?
EDIT: Ah right it has already been thought of in the VM newsgroups, apparently it is very expensive for papers such as the Metro.
