UK media suppressed Phorm survey and article, 2009

Are there any decent ISp that dont do this sort of malignant shit?

Does use of a proxy stop them doing this?

>Are there any decent ISp that dont do this sort of malignant shit?

Short answer no. Long answer, while these are just the UK majors you really have to go to Sweden or Somalia to avoid this in the long term.

>Does use of a proxy stop them doing this?
Short answer yes. Long answer, your traffic to the proxy goes via your ISP. Hopefully that traffic is encrypted beyond their reach. Almost certainly this is simply a id scam that relies on trawling large numbers of users to sell rather than trying to crack the hard nuts. Thats where the security services overlap with the ad-men.

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the NSA Key replacer or the full story of how and why the source site went offline?

Ideas: Social networks hit recruitment of spies


Social networking websites are making it increasingly difficult for security services to recruit spies because the candidates all have online trails.

Most students at UK universities, a prime recruiting ground for the intelligence services, use networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter and have their names, photographs and details of friends and family splashed all over the internet.

Working undercover requires a low profile and having images in the public domain that can be easily identified and associated with individuals or organisations can breach security.

Rob Cotton, chief executive of NCC Group, an IT security company that has been working with national agencies to advise on best practice in online security and privacy, said: “We would urge anyone with an online profile to err on the side of caution, to prevent identity theft or even the risk of ruining their career.

“For those interested in a career in the intelligence services, social media tools could genuinely lead to a life and death situation if the wrong details fall into the wrong hands. NCC Group’s Secure Test Operation has demonstrated just how easy it is for determined people to get hold of pictures and personal information long after you thought it had been deleted.”

Ken Munro, director of Secure Test, added: “With the explosion of social networking sites it is becoming almost impossible for intelligence agencies to find recruits who don’t have an online trail. This is becoming a major problem for them, as anyone planning a second identity for undercover work will find it nigh well impossible to remove all trace of themselves from the internet.”

I believe entanet and their resellers won't use Phorm, certainly uk free software network ISP advertises this fact and also urges people to oppose any government attempts to mandate some form of interception or censorship. See  http://www.ukfsn.org/

They (enatanet resellers such as ukfsn, freeola, vivaciti, adsl24, aquiss & many more) also offer one month rolling contracts and no traffic shaping of p2p as far as I know. They are generally rated highly on dslzoneuk.net
