Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

One also wonders why websites would want to sign up for the software which is quite likely to more accurately push their competitors’ sites in front of their customers? For example, if I mainly look at the BBC news website, wouldn’t Phorm “understand” this and so push adverts for other news and current affairs sites at me, to the BBC’s detriment?
I suppose until the next trial starts, how it works and who will participate is all speculation?


After extensive searching I too am unable to find any details of the EU online privacy hearing other than the news article already previously linked to..

I imagine that it is a 'closed hearing' as details of the venue are not being disclosed.
As seems to be the norm... it is a US media site that leaks the 'limited' information.
