Getroffene Hunde bellen
The title is a German proverb which translates as "hit dogs bark" and means that people will react once they feel sufficiently threatened.
The proverb apparently applies to Phorm a UK company that wants to use Deep Packet Inspection to serve ads. They have been critizied for their plan, and I also wrote them a letter asking them to exempt drupal.org from their plans (besides an auto-reply no answer was received).

We got the same auto-reply that wikimedia got, let's see if we get any more detailed response later.
