FTC Publishes Privacy Guidelines for Mobile Devices

Mobile device privacy as addressed by the FTC could be the last word in this or it could be the opening salvo. Some of the outcome of this is dependent upon how the legitimate players behave and part is going to depend upon how much the bad actors of data theft ramp up their game.

We could go along with this for several years if the good guys play nice and the bad guys take a vacation. I can see that several instances of data breach and/or several in-your-face refusals to follow the recommendations could lead to tighter privacy control and mandatory standards.
