And don't load it on your phone.

Unless you know what you are getting into.

I think it'd be neat if millions of non-China citizens who "know what they're getting into" were to actually install the app, and then go absolutely nuts texting all kinds of misleading, alarming, anti-gov't, terrorist-type fake "planning" stuff... and completely disrupt/turn the entire China/phone spying folly completely on it's head!! I mean, why not? The "backdoor" can swing both ways...
