This week, we raised the pressure on Phorm, by asking major websites to block Phorm from intercepting their data.
We’ve yet to have a firm decision from many of these sites – Facebook, MSN, Google, Youtube, AOL, Yahoo, Amazon and Ebay. But others, including several major sites, have already agreed to block Phorm. Find out more about this on the blog next week.
Right now, we need to pile on the pressure. Once sites start blocking Phorm, more people will understand that the concerns are real, and Phorm can be stopped.

You would need server side access and even then you would run into issues with wikimedia foundation policy of allowing access as widely as possible.

This is, indeed, something to be determined at the foundation level. They might be receptive - it's worth starting a discussion (perhaps on foundation-l).
The WMF has opted out of Phorm; see:

wikimedia.org.uk isn't controlled by the WMF, so of course they didn't list it. uk.wikimedia.org is a subdomain of wikimedia.org, which is listed.

Someone on the board of directors with an @wikimedia.org.uk address should send an e-mail to website-exclusion@webwise.com opting-out wikimedia.org.uk . Webwise just need to know that the organisation that owns the domain is making the request.

We don't currently own that domain. Hopefully we will in a few days.

Needs to be the admin or technical contact, which is James Forrester.
