Phorm confronts critics who say its system for selling people's browsing habits to advertisers is a serious breach of privacy. Benjamin Cohen reports.

The controversy hasn't died away. Activists are still concerned that the system represents a serious breach of their privacy.
Last night Phorm confronted its critics at a public event in London.
