| So hold on...
I haven't looked into this all that much admittedly, but am I to understand that this system would inject ads onto websites which normally do not have ads on them?
Seems to me that any ISP does not have the legal right to modify the website code of a site they do not own, even if it's just on the delivery via this bodged up proxy type sytsem. After all, my site's content belongs to me regardless of the ISPs network it may travel over.
I still say it's all BS and that my browsing history belongs to me, not the ISP, regardless of whether it runs on their network. I generated the data after all.

| I'm not sure if it will inject ads into an otherwise ad-free page, but it does take pages with ads, take out those ads, and insert ads from its own system in its place. The end result is that the webmaster (and possibly charity) doesn't get the ad revenue and the webmaster's good name and reputation is used without their consent for Phorm's profit (possibly damaging the webmaster's name/reputation in the process).
