I’m not sure it needs an investment specialist to tell us that. If I were that confident in my knowledge of the Zeitgeist in each country where Phorm have planned to deploy, I’d probably be off trying to use it to make money myself. Clearly, Phorm got it very wrong with the UK. They may have thought that, with all those CCTV cameras and the generally snooping police and government, that we wouldn’t mind, but forgot that “an Englishman’s home is his castle.”

The Nordic countries tend to be more privacy conscious. But, while The Register reported the furore over every Italian's tax bill published online, the Norwegians routinely publish everyone’s tax summary. In more homogeneous communities, there’s a tendency to have less fear from an invasion of privacy. Consider how far deCODE genetics has managed to get in Iceland. I’ve no idea how Phorm would play in countries like those. Even in North America, where Phorm, NebuAd, et al. might get past the people, they risk getting shredded by the legislator.

Now that would suggest to me that if you have more than one PC using your connection and webwise.net cookies were blocked by any of the users, then none would be protected while they were browsing. So Phorm Phishing protection would give the others nothing but a false sense of security.

It’s potentially a little more complex than that. The blacklist is a list of (IP address, domain name) pairs. On BadPhorm, I briefly considered the problems.
