Re: Police to Remotely Search Hard Drives

You're right StickyMick.  In my part of Essex the same.  The Police have a blitz in the High Street and stop everyone around at the time.  Mainly minor drug offences and weapons that are found.

Again that's speculation Gary.
How do you think the security / law enforcement services operated before Phorm came along?
It's not the only way of acheiving the aim and there are much more clever ways of doing that if you have the know how and tools available.

I don't think that it is speculation, it is like saying that small ISP's won't be bourtout PlusNet was.

Gary, it's not even remotely similar.
If the security agencies wanted to gather evidence of cyber crime, Phorm would be the last thing on earth they'd want to use.

As I said in the "Phorm" thread. Phorm is actually another name for 121media. One of the most prolific forms of spyware.
Same technology but just a different name.
If you have Firefox and the WOT plugin installed, WOT lists the Phorm homepage as highly dangerous.
