It can only be misleading if you, as the recipient of these opinions choose to accept it as fact rather than collect information in that area yourself so as to evaluate as much data as possible and form your own opinion. Which again, is only your opinion but given some diligence on your part it could at least be called an informed opinion.

As I dislike all online advertising, whether adverts are targeted or not, I dislike them all and will never respond to them. How relevant they are is actually immaterial to me. That is fact.
Getting back on subject, Phorm, under the guise of 121 Media infected PC's of friends of mine and also PC's of their children with their targeted adverts of the day via their hidden software bombs. It was a nightmare to fix and leads me to say factually, I will never trust them and I will never remain with an ISP who is 'in bed' with them illegally intercepting my data. I will knowingly never have any of their adverts on my PC screen whether targeted or not!
There .... back on track!
