Grand Jury Probe May Deter Smartphone App Privacy Abuses

A federal grand jury has subpoenaed Pandora to produce documents in what could be an industry-wide investigation of smartphone apps. In an SEC filing, Pandora said the subpoena was served early 2011, and it was told it wasn't a specific target of the probe. However, it believes similar subpoenas have been issued to publishers of other smartphone apps.
