Nothing wrong with Domain Name System servers.

This campaign is a joke. How many of you actually understand the technology and see how Phorm is actually taking good steps to stop a copy of everything you do being stored.
I understand perfectly how DNS works.. I could probably even write an essay on it. Not going to though.

What I don't understand is how someone storing details of people's surfing habits is somehow enhancing their privacy.

Yes, I know about the anonymising process, but this isn't as anonymous as people have claimed. At some point the system *does* link your "random" (note: Depending on the process used for generation, these may not be as random as you think) id with your IP. If it did not, it would not be able to serve you ads.
