As reported in this article, a privacy group (The Anti-Phorm Group) has launched a “Phorm Spoiler”, to deal with the fact that ISPs and Phorm Advertising Services are increasingly collecting personal data and profiles based un users’ surfing behaviours. An Anti-Phorm application is available for download online:
“The AntiPhorm group - which describes itself as "a loose conglomeration of concerned individuals comprised of artists, programmers and designers" - says it wants to prevent ISPs from profiting from their customers' personal surfing habits. …
To throw Phorm off the scent, the team has developed an application called AntiPhormLite that sits in the background, visiting random sites. "It connects to the web and intelligently simulates natural surfing behaviour across thousands of customisable topics," the site claims.”
