The backlash against Beacon and public meetings over Phorm indicate that the consumer must not be rushed. The Internet has an almost unique position in modern culture, for many a last bastion of escapism. We are profiled regularly in ‘real world’ retailing, resistance to which has largely faded, but Internet anonymity will not be easily surrendered. Trust, data security and privacy must be addressed with users and not ‘in spite of them’. The key sell is advertising ‘as content inline with user experience’. Enriching and non-interruptive models coupled with Semantic Web and Web3.0 herald an exciting future for the industry and Internet community.

I have selected this paragraph to talk about from your link phormwatch many thanks for the link. Highlights by me.

I have placed in Bold my main gripe...
It is not "we must not be rushed" I feel this should be "we will not be profiled at the expence of privacy, human rights and copyright infringement from websites we visit."

In the real world retail we give them as much or as little informatioin as we want no retail shop sends anyone around the store following every customers jotting down notes of everything we look at, touch, or buy.


Not always many of us still only give out as much or little as we wish. If it was surrenders anyone downloading copyrighted files would get a notices direct from the authorities not via their ISPs.


BT, TalkTalk and Virgin Media have already caused the ripples we used to trust them now I certainly don't hence why I moved to a smaller ISP that answered my questions promptly with answers that gave me hope there are still some who are not out to rip of the customers. There will never be any trust from Internet users who have come into contact with Kents previous rootkit targeted advertisements, none of my data will ever be profiled by his company or anyother company like his.

Interception will not enrich the internet, advertisments will not enrich the surfing for me I block them.

Web3.0 herald an exciting future for the industry and Internet community

Or the death of freedom of speach, freedom to visit any websaite you wish turning the WWW into mini China around the world with many places blocked.
