Opting out of Phorm April 17

I've followed Wikipedia's lead and written an email (based on the wikipedia one) to exclude nermal.org / nermal.net from Phorm's deep packet inspection technology:

Subject: Phorm opt out for nermal.org and nermal.net
To: website-exclusion@webwise.com

Hello,

I request that the following domains I control be excluded from scanning by
the Phorm / BT Webwise system, as I consider the scanning and profiling of
visitors behaviour whilst on my sites by a third party to be an infringement
on their privacy.

nermal.org
nermal.net

Regards,
Pete Prior

 

The EU has also launched an infringement proceeding against the UK for declaring the way Phorm operates to be legal.
