Top security firm: Phorm is adware
Home Office advice suggests RIPA worries for webmasters
From the article above
Quote:
It seems Virgin Media boss Neil Berkett could be gearing up to take the same stance on its deal with Phorm as Carphone Warehouse boss Charles Dunstone.

In an email to a customer seen by The Register, he said he will look again at his firm's plans to implement the service. Asked if he planned to require customers to explicitly opt-in to the ad targeting network, Berkett wrote this morning: "I am reviewing this again this evening."
So, VM may be changing their stance.
