Is not for sale at any price.
It's not the money, its the very idea that Phorm could bribe someone into giving up their privacy.
And instead of accepting something like this, I would use a utility like Anti-Phorm Lite to pollute their databases with junk. I already do so for Google, Yahoo, MSN/Live Search and AOL using an extension for Firefox called TrackMeNot. It generates bogus search phrases every two seconds while Firefox is running.

They succeeded in the UK. That makes them bold enough to try it in the US. |
|
| If they've succeeded why are they desperately once again floating this non starter to the UK Press?
The Only Supporters are the UK Government Departments (which took it at face value & didn't look at the pitfalls of the Technology), The AD/Media Interests & Phorm.
They've slowly driven themselves into a frenzy trying to promote the un-promotable! |
