Not Phorm but a programme from the Beeb on profiling by marketers. Contains an appearance by Richard Clayton. Might be useful for showing to people who don't get the implications of profiling before explaining Phorm to them.

"In a look at the increasing problem of identity theft, Rebecca Wilcox investigates how marketeers have been relentlessly tracking and profiling her, then buying and selling her personal information."

See the programme's web site. The web site contains details of repeat showings, it's not on iPlayer yet but is marked as 'coming soon'.

The annoying thing with the 'video' is that they whole way through adobe is trying to store data on my computer. Ironic that a programme about data harvesting does itself harvest data.

Proud to be a Phorm free ISP - www.mADSLax.co.uk - Griffin reseller
