Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
There are two different battles here even if you exclude 80/20.
!st is our internet we pay for the service, ISP are supposed to supply the carrier for where ever we decide to visit, they have no right to intercept this function. Regardless of what the 80/20 report says this is breaking our laws and as such should be allowed to go to trial.
2nd. The governments lack of action on those who are already guilty of this law breaking. Lack of action points to some phorm of hidden ajenda ( trojan horse) on our PCs we virus kill trojans and remove them I see no reason to stop this now.
3. 80/20 I had hopes they would be somewhat in line with their history of fighting for the small man being manipulated having their privacy invaded. Now I am not so sure what to trust my faith is shrinking as the time passes. Things that have happened since the public meeting shows Kent to be still the same arrogant smarmy individual that placed rootkits on as many pcs as he could. Links to Russian scripters do not help to lay those fears. 80/20 should have completed this for free for the safty of the community at large, peoples rights to be allowed their freedom, privacy, human rights. Once 80/20 loses track of the path they started and becomes diverted then more will use the 80/20 system to gain reputation.
With something this powerful in the hands of someone who is not reputable needs to have a privacy check by an totally independant company one that has no links tied into phorm, BT, VM.
To finish this VM have said they are only looking but the recent changes in T&C would imply more than just looking.
