Can anyone speculate as to what the ultimate goal of bringing this to FTC's attention is?
From the article:
...charges that Dropbox “has and continues to make deceptive statements to consumers regarding the extent to which it protects and encrypts therir data,” which amounts to a deceptive trade practice that can be investigated by the FTC.
Christopher Soghoian[1] filed the complaint. I would assume he was concerned with the deceptive practices of Dropbox?

This guy is one busy grad student. Didn't realize he got the Facebook story out too.
To waste $. Why aren't they going after the mortgage fraudsters and bankers? Dropbox is way more important than that right?
Fallacy of the excluded middle.
If only they had people like Soghoian dealing with problems in other industries...
