Wiki denies phorm

April 20, 2009

Wikipedia has become the latest publisher to block Phorm from tracking users across its portfolio of sites. A company statement said: "The Wikimedia Foundation requests that our websites, including Wikipedia.org and all related domains, be excluded from scanning by the Phorm / BT Webwise system, as we consider the scanning and profiling of our visitors' behavior by a third party to be an infringement on their privacy."
