Story: BCS joins calls for Phorm service to be opt-in
Web site creators... how do they 'opt in'?
The one party that Phorm, BT (and BCS) have ignored is the web site owner.
All the more surprising because the people who create web sites will include many BCS members.
How do they opt in to Phorm?
BT, and Phorm, are stealing valuable copyright and private content from people who choose not to participate in their OIX scheme. The beneficiary? BT, Phorm and OIX advertisers.
Even ignoring the need for consent from web site owners for interception of communication, and the criminal complaints, you can imagine the civil legal actions will last from now to eternity.
I don't want the valuable content on my commercial web sites used to sell my competitors products and services, I don't want the information on my personal home pages obscured by OIX adverts, and I don't want the contents of either used to create demographic profiles of my customers and friends for content thieves to sell adverts.
So Phorm; tell me how you obtain my consent?
