What I was trying to point out, as others have done, is that this campaign is not about blocking ads via Phorm or any other delivery mechanism. It is about preventing ISPs intercepting and analysing personal communications for commercial gain without the consent of both parties to the communication. The fact that that commercial gain would be via the advertising industry is incidental to the debate.

Correct John we do not want to be intercepted, stalked, read over our shoulder or nannied about the internet. Advertisements are there if you wish to see them I personally don't so take action to stop them.
