Sadly, that is precisely what they think. The majority of people will be too easily fooled by their PR spin. Look at the comments posted on news websites in response to this. Uninformed people are focusing on the adverts rather than the invasion of privacy angle. That is why we need to keep on fighting to get the word out that the adverts are a side issue (still annoying but not the real issue) and that the real threat comes not only from the invasion of privacy the technology represents but also what is possible in the future if Phorm are allowed to get away with this.
I have already alerted US friends of mine to what is going on here and how it is likely to start there too. They arent impressed one iota.
