Phorm's pulling another fast one, their claim that the process is anonymous is a total sham. They are going around conning people like the ICO and Lords/Ladies/MPs with this b~llshit because those power brokers of British governance are technically illiterate. Phorm will use back channels of information along with their sneaky partners to marry up the information from many different sources. That data is being clocked and collated! No doubt about it. The only clever thing is Phorm can look you in the eye and say 'WE' aren't doing it, with this dodgy profiling system we are trying to distract your attention with... (looks away covers mouth with hand,,, and whisper mutters "Are friends are doing the un-anonymising for us *wink*")
I'm sure Richard Clayton could write another PhD on how that information is scattered and then pulled back into a central repository... Phorm is just doing a smoke and mirrors trick... How the ADMIN EDIT - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BYPASS THE SWEAR FILTER can they say READING EVERYTHING IS A PRIVACY ENHANCEMENT???!!! it defies all logic.
C'mon Richard we need a nice research paper from you regarding all this sleight of hand trickery that's really going on.
Note: NebuAd's anonymising personal data has already been busted! Any CompSci student worth their salt knows that a oneway hash on a very small data set, IPv4 dotted quad, is virtually a lookup list.
Note2: I came across a complex Internet map of how the spammer/spyware/adware and advertizers are linked together and how they share cookie profile information with each other. Shame I cannot give you the URL it was fascinating and would scare the living crap out of everybody here that thinks it must be hard to track people across the Internet. Visit a dozen or so sites after deleting your cookies and web cache and you may find that the b~stards have aquired your personal profile again, against your wishes.
Has anyone else seen this map I'm referring to, or something similar? (I might have come across it on Slashdot or TheRegister about 5 years ago 'memory is fading')

Well can see the news soon peoples data lost while working online from home the MP's in question didn't do anything wrong except use BT total for internet and allow Phorm to be set into the network.
This news follows on from last weeks where secret plans for moving our boys back from the front line where intercepted and only link we can find is this person is again a BT total customer.
Police are investigate..
Can see that in large print soon since they seem unable or unwilling to listen...
Phorm will do this

Not sure if this has been highlighted in thread agreed it was 2007 but then again BT's illegal trials were 2006/2007.
