UK Phorm , which controversially works worked with UK broadband ISPs (e.g. BT WebWise) to monitor what websites you visit for use in targeted advertising campaigns, has lost another member of its team as non-executive Director Stefan Allesch-Taylor steps down from their Board of Directors with immediate effect.

The Board apparently thanked Mr Allesch-Taylor for his contribution to its "development" over the last twelve months and wished him well in the future. Happily, for privacy campaigners at least, Phorm has gone rather quite after it was unable to cement support for its service. Major backers BT , Virgin Media and TalkTalk appeared to shelve adoption plans during the middle of last year.
