Phrom/webwise poll

If your ISP was to start to use Phorm/Webwise would you opt-in or opt-out

  • opt-in so yes would allow phorm to monitor surfing habits, everything I see on the internet

hmm any one know status on their trails ? When are they going to go live ? I think plus net users will get phorm for free too :D
 
BT have announced the end of the BT-webwise trial.

What is missing is true figures of number of customers offered the invitation page which falls short of the ICO recommendation which according to posts the ICO have had complaints about.

We have received some correspondence from individuals concerned about the way in which BT provided information about Phorm on the ‘invitation page’ in their recent trial and it may be useful to note that our Policy department have been in contact with BT in relation to the transparency of the information provided about the webwise service during the recent trial. We will continue to follow this issue up as necessary in advance of any further role out. I have passed your concerns on to our Policy department for their information.



We will keep our website, www.ico.gov.uk, updated with any further statements on this issue. "

With BT's complete ban on discussions about this subject, the failure to explain completely how webwise gathers its information on the invitation page any that took part could be said to have not been able to give true informed consent.

So the trial went from 30th Sept to 10th December with no official release of just who took part, very little evidence on the internet of people saying they have had an invite those which did say had refused. Is BT's marriage with Phorm look like morphing into a BTgate affair?
