I have to agree. They seem to have stopped engaging the public on the issue and I am assuming that there is a lot going on in the background to try and generate positive press (my own personal opinion NOT fact ).

I know this quote has been mentioned before but it's mentioned in their latest blog posting and is quite misleading. Quoting Baroness Miller...

she pointed the Lords to the recent Economist article on Phorm and says we are a company that is “on the cutting edge of what can protect the public” [in data protection terms].

I feel it's misleading because it implies that users will be better protected with their technology in place when in fact it does nothing of the sort, in fact you could argue that it has the opposite effect.

spin spin spin spin... I'm starting to get dizzy!
