There are many old sayings around all meaning the same thing.
A chain is as strong as its weakest link,
BT was strong now with Phorm this old saying comes tomind.
A fool and his money are soon parted
To say it is foolhardy to follow the phorm route is correct.
this last one maybe more relevent to what BT are doing
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
With the forcing of phorm onto customers yes forcing since there is no way technically to avoid the phorm servers, you still get intercepted regardless of if it is proccessed or not it is illegal interception. So BT are forcing absolute power over their customers! The fact we only have BT and Phorms word they wouldn't be proccessed in the light of the leaked report that word is worthless.
All that glitters is not gold
Phorm maybe glittering money before your eyes look at the old saying and think for a while.
Appearances are deceiving
This would fit in with the whole saga of Kents life from early days to present nothing has changed.
Quote:
Two programs distributed by ContextPlus—Apropos and PeopleOnPage—employ what are described as "very advanced rootkit technologies" to evade anti-virus and anti-spyware scanners.
Apropos is a spyware program that collects users browsing habits and system information and reports back to the ContextPlus servers.
Like the typical spyware application, Apropos uses the data to serve targeted pop-up advertisements while the user is surfing the Web.
