My old Dad (in his 70's) wrote to BT to complain about Phorm.

He got a call from BT in the past few days, anxiously defending Webwise, claiming it was a privacy enhancing technology, and drawing comparisons with Google.

Continuous surveillance is not privacy enhancing. And Phorm is nothing what-so-ever like Google. Mainly because it isn't a search engine.

And BT can't tell the truth.
