Corrupt den of information thieves, with strong government links...
Damien Thorn: "there are some who claim phorm used to make spyware"
Indeed they were involved with spyware. It was a previous company the same people ran. Here's the link:

It shows what a bunch of crooked heartless Narcissistic people we are dealing with behind Phorm. They have no empathy for anyone. They are too busy thinking about themselves, trying to get rich by trying to exploit everyone. Morally they are outright crooks even if we don't have laws to punish them as crooks (because they have people in very high places preventing it being brought into law to stop them). For example, Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Lord Norman Lamont is on Phorm's board of directors!!!

... this corruption in an attempt to spy on everyone goes to the very top in politics and we need legal action to find out who is backing Phorm and throw them out of politics. They are suppose to be our representatives in government there to protect us. Yet Phorm is one of the single biggest moves to create a Police State in history, yet the government has conveniently and consistently failed to take action against Phorm to stop them. If they can't protect us, then who can?! ... Judging by the evidence so far, its the current government we also have to fear, as they seem very happy to let Phorm continue. Even worse than that, one of Phorm's people are also on the government board of advisers, so it shows the government accepts and want to work with Phorm. So much for our supposed government representatives. Even just the visible links between politics and Phorm are very deep and so very insidious, so what else is going on we can't see. No wonder we can't stop Phorm with the government backing them up.
We need one of the news papers to totally blow the lit of this whole corrupt den of information thieves.
