AntiPhorm
Your personal information is a valuable commodity to Phorm and to your ISP. By harvesting the information you divulge every time you surf the internet, BT alone expect to make an additional $170M annually. The increase of data-mining, profiling of you and your surfing habits is a worrying trend, on a global industrial scale. And if they can do it without your legal consent or knowledge, so much the better.
This is just the beginning. There are many similar ambitious commercial and government partnership ’services’ in development, corrupted by the prospect of massive profits. In this climate, protecting your identity and safeguarding the interests of your family is paramount to your security and quality of life. Private companies that disregard your rights and record your personal and detailed online surfing behavior is tantamount to them putting CCTV cameras in every room of your house. It appears we can’t stop your ISP tracking and selling your surfing behavior but one solution could be to make the data they do collect absolutely worthless to their clients. more
