I hadn't noticed anyone doing that.
Were you referring to a particular post or discussion?
It also depends on what you mean by "...getting this stopped" - do you mean Phorm, the current "arrangements" with BT/VM/CW or do you mean interception of data by ISPs or anyone else without a warrant?
There are many levels to this discussion and the Phorm tie-in is only part of them. If we fight and win against Phorm as a company the problem of DPI and spying by ISPs will remain and will resurface like a dose of herpes.
Far better to address the issues behind the headlines than to become too focussed on Phorm. They are a piddling little spyware company and seeing them off is not enough to protect anyone's privacy in the medium to long term. I don't want to have to go through all of this again and I don't think that people should have to spend the next five years running tracerts and looking at the fine-print of every contract in order to use what is basically a delivery service.
