"I said it previously...
Rather than have an opt-in/opt-out process, Bt should offer Webwise as a browser add-on - maybe a nice little toolbar - and people who want it can download it and agree to a EULA. All of the monitoring and data analysis could be done on the user's own PC. The application could then request adverts accordingly when webpages are accessed from Phorm's customers.
...."
I wonder if 80/20 have drawn some conclusions that Kent does not like? |
Yeah I read that and immediately thought MyWay.MyWebSearch, CoolWebSearch, FunWebProducts (all toolbar based spyware/adware)
Who in their right mind would install a parasite like that? Normally this stuff ends up on a machine because it's silently installed running from malicious javascript on an "injected" web page!
You don't think Simon offered that to Phorm as a legal alternative do you?
Wow...
