Re: It's my computer,

said by bgraham See Profile :

and my bandwidth and in my house, so I think I can do anything I like. If I want to have software that blocks ads and delete cookies that's my choice.

I really don't see what the issue is here.
you dont seem to have read up on this new (unlawful in the UK/EU without a court order or consent of both partys (the user and the website owner))use for deep packet inspection (DPI) hardware on the ISP network.

dont you care about your auto copyright protected datastream, or for 3rd partys to profit from your data property, without a single penny or contract coming to you for its use as you see fit?.

how about your privacy when using web based email for yourself or your family , they can see all that http based data etc.

blocking the cookies will NOT stop your full datastream being intercepted or collected, for processing and later anonymising of any your data they deem valuble to them.

its the total oposite of the usual cookie use.

the simple answer is to read these links for a true non PR written news copy tech/legal view.

its known that Phorm use layer7/Deep Packet Inspection kit to intercept and collect _all_ your data stream regardless of what data they then process and act upon, anonymise etc.

and in the UK/EU that is unlawful without court orders for far more acurate detail's and the real feeling in this see:

the longest Phorm related thread on the net, and legal/moral/tech comments by the very paying UK customers effected by this unlawful interception.
