ISP's sign up spyware company
      Thu Mar 06 2008 09:14 PM

Apologies if this has been mentioned before or its in the wrong forum.

What do people think about BT, Virgin and Talk Talk (so far) signing up Phorm ( a company who's boss was responsible for some of the spyware we all hate).

Phorm will monitor your web access - not just what sites you visit - they monitor the page content and everything you type in on forms etc. The aim is to send you targeted adverts (lie we really want more adverts). They claim that they wont store numbers over 3 digits to avoid credit card numbers being recorded. Unless a page is secure then they will see everything you do.

How do people feel about having their web usage monitored like this ? Do you see it as something ISP's should be doing or not ?
