2/ The Protests are the PERFECT opportunity to reach greater audiences; picture our campaigners with the crowds handing flyers and educating the public that way.

3/ The greatest threat to our campaign is the implementation of Phorm, which will set a precedence. Coupled with European Directive 2006/24/EC I can see NO WAY for us to legally challenge - and our campaign will become no more than a talking shop to ensure that the extent of the intrusion does not go too far.

The Protests are VERY relevant, and a great find by Alex - well done again bud. We must be involved, as the issue with Phorm will not be resolved until the likes of Article 3 of the European Directive 2006/24/EC are removed from the statutes. This is the Directive the protests are opposing - the very same that is threatening success in our campaign.
I do agree - I am just wanting them both to benefit from a clear uncluttered opportunity to be highlighted and linked but by separate threads. I think we are at the stage now when the number of enquirers on these issues is going to grow, and the education process must be as painless as possible - whatever it is that they are picking up on - the wider privacy debate, or the Phorm/DPI/Webwise issue. Go full steam on both, but not in one thread otherwise all those enquirers will just wander away again confused.

But I'll go with the consensus ;-)
