BT Bans Talking About Phorm, Erases Earlier Discussions
Found on Techdirt on Monday, 24 November 2008
The company held extensive trials with the system, without letting users know that their clickstream data was being sold to advertisers in order to do more targeted advertising.
BT has apparently banned discussion of Phorm on its forums and erased earlier forum discussions about the technology. How's that for openness?
The only reason to erase these discussions is if BT knows that what's it's doing is highly questionable, and BT would rather not have to explain itself.
Now that's a really mature way to deal with the problems they brought up. Sounds like those in the management also like to stomp with their feet and cry until they get what they want.
