Re: July 16th - Anti-Phorm Protest at the BT AGM, Barbican Centre, London

Paul,

Do you put electrical tape over the oil warning light to make it go
away?

Why should ordinary good willed people be forced to resort to using
measures such as TOR when previously they did not need to?

As for what are people afraid of:

Would you mind if I followed you around each day recording everything
you do? I will make a note of everything you read, hear, write, speak
and at the end of the day I promise to cross out the bits which are
'personal' and discard it... With the rest of the information I will
make a profile of you and bombard you with ads tailored to your needs.

Please consider the implications of systems like Phorm before making
glib statements.It is not a pesky ad / spam system which can be
eradicated with simple measures. It is intrusive, it is illegal. It
has to be stopped now.
