Watched the Click video. Good job I don't use Facebook or MySpace...

Again the BBC ran Phorm's stuff as standard and didn't say "Phorm claim" as any decent independent reporter would have done. Although they did get the point right about VM considering to go with Phorm rather than the erroneous tech article that said VM were going to do it and it would be opt-out.

The feature didn't really emphasise the point about websites being mirrored/copied/processed and didn't even try to discuss illegality.

Obviously heavily edited. Kent still lacks manners and politeness and was about as convincing as the Iraqi Information Minister.

I publish stuff online already - Phorm does nothing to enhance what I do. Damn sure it won't make it any more interesting. How can Kent claim that?

Here's a reminder for recent arrivals to the thread. Phorm first mentioned a network based opt-out at the public meeting and don't seem to have mentioned it since. Because they know it will kill their business model.

"The reality is that the public would like to use this service by default." - What complete cobblers! That's Mugabe thinking right there. Because people don't say "no" they are in fact saying "yes". Utter crap. And again Kent likes to try and drag the debate to Google rather than Phorm. Well Kent, someone I think very highly of works for Google and if she trusts them with her e-mail via a Gmail account then that's as good a recommendation as I will ever find.

Just for the record Kent, I'm not being bombarded with adverts today. More to the point I'm not bombarded with ANY adverts that I don't want. I choose which sites can serve me ads - sites I use and want to support.

There's only so much that can be fitted into a 5 minute slot. Nice job Alexander, you kept composed and cool. More than I might have.
