Wikipedia Opts Out Of Phorm

ais523 writes "Wikipedia (and other websites run by Wikimedia) have requested to opt-out from Phorm; according to the email they sent, they 'consider the scanning and profiling of our visitors' behavior by a third party to be an infringement on their privacy.'" Another reader points to this post on techblog.wikimedia.org which includes a confirmation from Phorm that those sites will be excluded.

And that's why opt-out should be illegal. No exceptions. Massive fines. That would end all the spam and scamming right there, at least for the legal part (you still have to find and prosecute the guys, of course, but you don't need any huge laws).

So where are the class-action lawsuits? Americans, I'm looking at you, you make a case out of everything, what's taking you so long?
