I think you may have misunderstood what I was getting at. I think the heavy PR and lobbying hired by Phorm and NebuAd will be using google and social networking as one of their arguments to make Phorm and NebuAd look good or become more acceptable.

I do seriously expect something like a rash of anti-google "research" results to appear and be published in the mainstream media. Even scare tactics like "google data leak" are not beyond the imagination. This will then be pointed to as some sort of twisted reasoning to make DPI wiretapping/interception look somehow better

Do you remember the movie "Wag the Dog"?
