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

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.

http://www.asa.org.uk/asa/codes/

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.
