The only way we can really stop this is to make it clear to potential advertisers that we will campaign to boycott their products. Not just their web-based selling sites but high street stores as well. Can we find out which companies have expressed an interest in Phorm? If so, it is those companies we need to put pressure on.

Remember, the Guardian withdrew - they said it didn't phit (sorry, fit) into the ethos of the newspaper, but I bet they got phrightened (sorry, frightened) when they saw the strength of feeling of the public. I myself have taken the Guardian for 25 years and wrote to the editor to say I would stop if they signed up. I like to think that, however small, my protest helped them come to their senses.

Let's set up a boycott site and target the retailers - without the retailers and their adverts, Phorm will not exist.
After visiting the phorm (phah) website to look for OIX partners, I cannot find any listed anywhere.

Could this be because there aren't any? Or are they simply witholding the information (at the partners' request?).

As suggested by 'murfitUK', contacting such partners/retailers to inphorm them that you would not buy from/use their services if they were to commit to the OIX project may be another avenue to pursue.
