Re: Do I understand this correctly? Hello Phorm Comms.
Some facts:
Internet browsers only return cookies to the original domain.
To retrieve the webwise.com "opt-out" cookie, Phorm hijack every EVERY SINGLE WEB REQUEST to trick the browser into temporarily thinking that the request comes from webwise.com.
This is the basis of Phorm's technology.
This hijack happens even if you "opt out".
How certain are you that this is not warrantless interception and therefore in breach of RIPA? |

Since only very small ISPs are using such service over here, nobody has been ringing many alarm bells...yet...that will change once a major carrier signs up.
The main behavioral ad outfit over here (NebuAD) doesn't have the shady spyware/rootkit history, and they're not trying to insult user intelligence by pretending their product is an anti-phishing service. |
