I know what BERR is (The Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform) but what does PPS stand for?

I have noticed that the amount of posts has reduced recently but that's not such a bad thing as having read all of this thread and just about everything else related to Phorm it infiltrated a dream the other night  . And Alexander is partly to blame (sort of). In short I was trying in vain to to tell this guy some facts but he just kept on talking rubbish and I just couldn't get through to him. This guy was a shady character - one of those dodgy auction guys where they won't let you film  - and he was wearing a trilby (like Alexander's spy guy) with Phorm on the front (like a seaside hat) do you get the picture? Not a pleasant dream. |
Dream you mean nightmare :P
Ok just posted a rant on ISPreview to the news of BT trying to work without cookies, worrying since the cookies is what will help us know who is compromised on our websites.. Then had a PM from a member about it which made me laugh so going to copy and paste my reply here...

Well the BT new CEO was Retail CEO when the secret trails were held someone who was high on the technical side moved to phorm just after the trails and then we have labour in at the top of BT so would be more than one in the pie.
MPO for what it is worth is this is some scam either the government are helping it in as they wish to turn UK into the new Russia/China where FREEDOM is a banned word. Or Kent is scamming them all since every UK computer infected with a Trojan to make them work in the swarm when needed is worth £100 to websites that can infect the PC's that visit the site what is the BT, talktalk and VM customers computers worth to the swarm.
Since it has been already announced that the ISPs will have no control over the system that is snooping on us we don't know what is actually being gathered we only have the words from someone with past history in spyware/adware using rootkits that were hard to move from your PC once on. He avoids answering questions just keeps spouting sales pitch answers.
Patent on Phorm is so good this thing could actually log everything from your PC and ability to track you link IPs to your phorm number, all it takes is owner or one of his Russian scripter’s to update the right script telling the system what to harvest. No one would know what was being harvested and used or what it was being used for..
Would make another good spy thriller where the front shop looks legal while the spies worked behind the scenes unnoticed.
I will not have this system anywhere near my PC.
