Sounds like typical PR spin, with a “no update” update. No proper numbers mentioned. Adjectives used to hide the real numbers. Most of the time this is done because the worst case scenario is being hidden. When it says “thousands”, it could mean 2000 and a few more. When it says “around 200”, you bet it’s 190 or so.
When they find violations they’re just going to ban the app? That’s it? Don’t they even consider legal action where possible?
What a waste of time and what an insult to the intelligence of the readers.
