I don't know what to think about Phorm. I didn't object to WGA and haven't suffered any ill-effects so far from allowing it onto the system. I think that's my own practical yardstick. I'm not particularly worried by Internet privacy providing nothing affects everyday life, which it hasn't so far. This has been the attitude for around eight years now, so perhaps that's a reasonable trial.

Did anyone read the interview in The Register linked to in an earlier post? A reasonable case is put for not worrying about Phorm. It even seems to present some reasons why it might be good to accept it. I'm undecided.

Edit: Sorry, see link in post 2184.
