Wikipedia Opts Out Of Phorm

Posted by timothy on from the phorm-of-their-objection dept.

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.

  1. Wikipedia is for losers by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    The reason why Wikipedia sucks is the sad admins known as j.delanoy, nishkid64, antandurus, MER-C, nawlinwiki, krazliec, spacebirdy, Bongwarrior, pmdrive1061 and others.

    All users of slashdot are encouraged to vandalize Wikipedia.
