Phorm system declared illegal in the UK. How absolutely phabulous!*

It’s going from bad to worse for Phorm. I’d like to think that we at BadPhorm have mostly concentrated on the technical and legal issues and the troubling plans for the way the system is to be introduced, with only the occasional detour by way of a tirade of rude words. Now, as more of the media and blogosphere are piling on board, everyone’s looking to stick the knife in.

“In response, Kent Ertugrul, the CEO of Phorm ,says he is ‘very, very comfortable’ that his company is not in breach of data protection legislation and even goes so far as to tack on the sophistry that the system actually provides users with enhanced privacy because they are able to opt-out of the technology!! Utterly incredible.”

“This grubby and sneaky little system, whose only purpose is enrich others by worming its silent, slimy and invisible way though your personal data, should be stamped-on and wiped out forthwith.”

*I know there are some factual inaccuracies in that.
  1. It’s not just the participating websites where the ‘snooping’ goes on.
  2. While English law has the Group Litigation Order, we don’t do “class action” like the Americans.


Phorm Sink-o-Meter

Today’s reading is moderate.


The sink-o-meter is a measure of the tide of public opinion lapping against the sides of Phorm.

Looking at the list if people involved with Phorm, ex MS execs, ex double click execs, at&t execs it really is a slimey bunch. I'd have to say that if satan wanted to put a finer group of people together he'd have competition with Phorm.
