Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
I've just had an e-mail from Virgin Media asking for feedback on a potential new service they are thinking of offering; online storage of personal files (photos, music, videos, backup files).
I don't usually respond to such messages, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to let them know that I would not use any such service if they launch Phorm/Webwise, for the specific reason that once such snooping was underway, I would have absolutely no faith in the security or privacy of my personal data transmitting across or stored on their network.
It's a minor side issue, I know, but in the words of the great satan of supermarkets, "every little helps" - perhaps if enough people cite Phorm as a reason not to trust such services, it'll come to the attention of policymakers at VM.
