The result of Article 29 means that this has to be done and Informed Consent is now mandatory across Europe. This -includes- Phorm, Google, MS, Yahoo, BT, AOL and every other big player in the industry.

This is a -good- thing so please lets not ruin it with baseless attacks?

I trust what you're saying on this Alexander but it's difficult to trust companies who are commisioned by Phorm to give appraisals particularly if their findings seemingly don't get to be made public. Particularly when we were told on this forum that it would be a warts and all affair and Phorm were aware of this also and had a publish and be damned attitude...

More than once with 80/20 Thinking I've felt like I've been fed verbal rohipnol

- it sure feels like you've been shafted but you're never quite sure enough to start shouting about it!!
