Title: Amazon opts out of Phorm
Post by: Rik on Apr 15, 2009, 15:18:17
The BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7999635.stm) reports that Amazon has written to Phorm, requesting that all their domains be 'opted out' of the Phorm system.

A good reason to do business with Amazon, imo. :)

My thoughts entirely, Q. If others follow suit, it can kill Phorm dead in the water.

The tide seems to be turning against Phorm, maybe people are actually waking up to see their anonymity floating away, Rik :thumb:

Nice one, Amazon (but I wouldn't expect anything less!). :)
