its to combat phone theft and terrorism. But don't worry it will be used against political opponents and political dissidents too.
According to government figures, users have downloaded the app more than five million times since its launch, helping to block more than 3.7 million stolen or lost mobile phones and blocking more than 30 million fraudulent connections, Reuters reported.
In that time, the app has helped recover more than 700,000 lost phones, according to the figures.
I don't know, but i don't believe a userbase of 5 million (which started at zero in january) with the rest of these numbers (700k lost phones?)
These numbers are like proclaiming you won an "election" with 90% votes.
