Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
Those of you who went to the PIA meeting back in April should be able to remember an elderly gentleman in the audience who was literally choking on his own emotions when he asked a question about Phorm. It was one of the most humbling experiences you could ever have, a man who defended our futures fighting in the war, making sacrifices beyond our comprehension, moved to tears over this issue of privacy. It is the actions of people like him who gave us these rights in the first place; European Convention on Human Rights was bourne out of that war, a time of darkness and loss for millions and here we are just 60 years on throwing it all away.
We should all try to remember him a little more often when we need a reminder of just how important this is.
