Not only do people do not want this technology, people appear to also not trust this technology. When people also find out that this technology is in the hands of ex spyware companies like Phorm (121Media) who have shown, cunning, deception and lots of smoke and mirrors historically in the past, some people seem to have a genuine mistrust.
Personally, when I read quoted statements that Phorm uses from other sources far more respected than I, sometimes I feel that Phorm's text could mislead the reader. Yes, the sources they quote and the words that are said are often factual, but not always the true context of what was said by the original writer comes across in the manner in which it is reported. I have read a damming report on Phorm and when I looked at the quotes picked out by Phorm from that same report, if I had not read the original report, I could have believed Phorm/Webwise was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
This to me is not a sign that a leopard has changed its spots. It makes me mistrust Phorm even more. Is this transparency?
