BT, Phorm, and Me
,----[ Quote ]
| I was not involved with BT and Phorm, then or now. Everything I know about
| Phorm and BT's relationship with Phorm came from the same news articles you
| read. I have not gotten involved as an employee of BT. But anything I say
| is -- by definition -- said by a BT executive. That's not good.

| However, this is all out in the open as far as we can tell regardless of

| concerns deserve unsubstantiated attention? With ISP DNS logs being sold for
| analytics and plenty of less scrupulous and completely passive ways to
| monitor user traffic, browsers seem in fact only one of a multitude of
| privacy threats people should worry about.
