So why an Anti Phorm League?
As a concerned individual there comes a time when you have to stand up against threats to your privacy. Without informing customers or giving them the ability to opt out, three of the UK's largest ISPs (Virgin Media, BT and TalkTalk) have decided to sell your private browsing history to Phorm. If you are a shareholder in any of these companies this of course is great as your ARPU has just increased.
This website was created to start a place where attention can be brought to this issue and the various ways that you, the consumer, can fight back. We are also hoping to get ISP's who don't subscribe to Phorm to pledge to keep end users viewing habits private.
The first step is to Sign the petition on the 10 Downing Street site.
