Subject: restrict webwise access to my websites
how do I prevent webwise / phorm from profiling the content of my websites?
I wish Google etc to index them but want to specifically deny webwise as I do not see why phorm / BT etc should profit from my work with no reward to me.
Google and co provide traffic and visitors in return for being allowed access, phorm / BT provide nothing, and before you suggest it no I do not want to host adverts from OIX
the assumption that because I allow Google you can scrape my work for your gain is not a suitable argument
what can I add to my robots.txt file to deny phorm access while allowing search engines?
the alternative is to deny access to all BT ip ranges and redirect them to a page with as many links as I can find regarding how phorm works and all of the legal issues surrounding it
and how do I prevent phorm from profiling my webmail which is over port 80 (http) not port 443 (SSL)
please note I Specifically DENY BT/ PHORM / VIRGIN MEDIA AND TALK TALK from profiling, intercepting or otherwise interpreting any pages on
www.XXXXXX-is.co.uk ,
www.XXXXXXXcentre.co.uk www.*****ow.co.uk or ********stow.escouts.net

suprisingly no reply, and they wonder about the comment of them ignoring requests
