Hey Guys
The NebuaAD debacle, as you are aware, is very similar to the issue being played out in the UK in the guise of Phorm's Webwise.
For any of you guys unaware - the European Union have more or less declared that the Packets sent, including Serach data, URL etc are the relevant Data Traffic as protected under EU Legislation.
Additionally we have been watching the situation Stateside, as the timetable for implementation of Phorm includes the US in late 2010.
We have had a degree of sucess, however Phorm insists with pushing for the implementation of the Webwise System, regardless of the fact tht illegal Trials were conducted, and a massive 'churn' of Customers from ISPs is expected if the system goes ahead.
The emphasis for you guys who are opposed to the NebuAd and Phorm systems should be education. You should spread the word to your family and friends; create websites and forums as a central focus for discussion and protest.
Compile lists of ISPs who will not violate their customer base with these systgems - and offer strong recommendation to use them.
Lobby you Government - aim for the Presidential Candidates as NOW is the time to get their attention. If you get enough people to raise hell about this to them, they may well listen.
