Regarding "What is to stop my children / subaccount holders agreeing to the change of contract when they have no authority?":
If you block the domain now on all PC's then the interstitial page will not be presented.

If someone opts into the trial there is a facility for opting out and back in again:

so anyone on a pc in my network can agree and change my contract!!!

the responsibility is mine to ensure this does not happen!!!!

i have to block the cookies in my browsers that way i do not know when they start spying on ME!!!!

on the plus side the full product rollout will be cookie free, but by which time a large number of users will have been duped into a contract change by a sub account holder with nothing they can do about it!!!!

That is very interesting and confirms my suspicions - basically they are putting the onus on the account holder, and they are totally ignoring the issue over children and the issue of contractual obligations to the account holder.

I would suggest we focus on this a little, perhaps using the BT advert family as an example. anyone feel like writing a script for an advert?

In any complaints to authorities about the Webwise trials this sort of thing should definitely be mentioned.
