I was intrigued (and heartened) by Simon Davies/Privacy International's condemnation of them, Simon being an expert on public CCTV.
Apart from anything else, the sheer lack of taste is staggering, as is the arrogance in thinking we're all interested in sport.

There's a few huge difference that make it irrelevent to this discussion - it's not targetted and it's nothing to do with Phorm, ISPs or internet privacy.
Phorm have tried many times to create this sort of false comparison - saying that Webwise is not as bad as something else. It never stands up to basic scrutiny and is only ever done to distract people. It usually happens just around the same time that there is a big fall in Phorm's share prices.
