They supposedly shutdown Onavo on the iPhone.... only to just resubmit it under another name.

Accordingly I'm a bit skeptical about how much of a shutdown happens here.

I thought that fell under "unpaid market research programs" which is also shutting down.

The facebook paid research program existed for years before the onavo shutdown
