Hello Ukcrypto,

FYI: BBC News | Open Rights Group questions Phorm.
Last Updated: Wednesday, 12 March 2008, 12:07 GMT.

Begin Opening Paragraphs.

Campaign body the Open Rights Group (ORG) has called for further
detail on the workings of ad system Phorm. BT, Virgin and Talk Talk
have signed up to trial the system, which intercepts users' web
surfing to analyse habits.

More than 2,500 people have signed a Downing Street petition
expressing concern about privacy implications.

"Until we know exactly how Phorm works, and across whose networks our
data will flow, speculation about the privacy implications will
continue", said ORG.

End Opening Pragraphs.
