Large websites were urged to opt out, and the wave has started. Amazon.co.uk, for example, have told Phorm that they may not use data from their website. The Open Rights Group have welcomed the decision of such companies.

In the comments on the Open Rights Group announcement, there were calls to create a logo for websites owners to display to show that they have opted out of Phorm.

I whipped out Gimp and knocked up a few logos quickly, and here they are. I will add logos, and improve on these when I get some spare time.

For reference, here is Phorm’s logo, upon which my design is based:

If you have a logo of your own, give me a shout and I’ll be happy to add it to the collection. In the mean time, head over to Open Rights Group and see how you can protect your rights online.

Incidentally, if you would like to opt out your website from scans by Phorm, send an email to website-exclusion@webwise.com stating which domains you would like excluded.
