Its not the end product of targeted advertising that has made the good people on here so mad. Its the means of getting the profiles, by intercepting and analysing our internet traffic without our consent.

We have no choice in whether we want to be profiled...even if we opt out our traffic will still be intercepted. Its time to call a halt to spying for profit, at least where nothing of ANY use is offered in return and where our data is stolen without choice.

If you really have read the entire thread and are still convinced that this is a good thing then either you are an:

1. employee of phorm or associates
2. investor who stands to lose money on this venture
3 moron

so which is it?
