Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

[Tarquin L-Smythe]

Jackal
for someone so opinionated you certainly appear very uninformed ,surely the fact that you are the minority here why not phorm a pro PHORM forum and then you and all those of the same opinion can fight for the right to be invaded ,snooped upon and have all you private details on public display and freely available to anyone.Once you have all your facts and followers then come back and post your point of view.
On another note why try and put a downer on a good day that many have put a great deal of personal time and effort to acheive.

Well done guys time for the small people to strike back

"Phorm Warned by British Government Over Ad System, Must Use Opt-In" by Kelly O'Connell, Internet Business Law Services Editor

http://www.ibls.com/internet_law_new...stnews&id=2037

users will be presented with an unavoidable statement about the product

It is avoidable but Phorm don't want it to be because that would ruin their business model.

Hi Guys,

I have been following this thread with great interest. As some of you know, Channel 4 did a bit on Phorm earlier today. I have made that into an AVI file if anybody is interested I could upload it to youtube when i get home from work. (cant get access to youtube from work ).

So if anybody thinks this is a good idea then lemmie know, and I will upload it. I will be home around 6pm.

Count me in also I would love to see this.

On another note had a reply to my email to Simon watkin but he did request it to be kept personal this time.

The reply was along the lines that unless phorm is opt-in and informed then we might have a right to fight which I will any ISP that tries to phorm my clicks.

My days with VM are drawing to a close I hope you guys don't mind me staying around to help with the fight against phorm?

Alexandra great work honest you are a beacon of light in the murky waters that isd trying to drown our privacy always willing to help guide us..

Looks like there are large numbers of Phorm shares trading :-

130k of shares in one trade at 1450 pence.

Don't know if it's people buying in or bailing out though!

[PeteTheMusicGuy]

Lets hope it's bailing and that they going to announce something major

Blimey. Someone deciding to cut their losses?

[MarkD]

Actually default opt-in or opt-out is a bit of a red-herring for me. That's really about whether Phorm will have few or many users, and says little about how it's done.

What is the issue for me is how easy is it to set things up so the traffic of all people at my house do not go through any kit that is either owned or provided by phorm, and that having done it once I don't have to keep re-doing it for any reason at all.

At the rate they are losing shares Kent will not be able to buy a trabant in Moscow never mind anything more fancy.

It could be shorters but I sincerely hope its something in the offing that is scaring investors away. Trying to guess what would be pointless but time will tell. Lets hope channel 4 news do a longer piece this evening on it than they did at lunch time although the lunch time piece was excellent and actually on reflection I think quite fair.

Regarding shares, it looks like there may have been 2 big sales very close together.

This ties in with the volume traded indicated on the google finance site.

Anyone with better info?

I think nearly £2M got dumped.

I can only see the one sell on other sites, could be a mistake.
