Excellent posts to MSE - it isn't scaremongering IMHO. It would also be worth letting people on their know about the content theft angle, I'd guess some will be business owners (or investors in business that have a web site).
Also from the privacy policy on MSE "The information derived from use of cookies will be aggregated to provide statistical information about the usage of our site. However, we do not use any information derived from cookies, nor any IP addresses we collect, to identify any individual user of our site."
Whereas Phorm will impose a Phorged cookie to gather information specific to that user.
And of course - perhaps let Martin Lewis all his content will be used by Phorm to promote other web sites, and his consent is assumed.
Also from the T&Cs "You are allowed to use our content for personal, non-commercial use only". Which would mean people opting in to Phorm/Webwise and BT are clearly violating the terms of use, even if consent could be assumed
