Sunlight apps will always have the problem of anonymity. 1) Preventing malicious fake reports by anons. 2) Preserving the source anonymity of real reports. Finding a working way out will be very consequential.

Indeed, the first thing I would do as a malicious state entity would be to flood any such app with fake reports.

I assume the Russian version of this app is just a feature in the state-sponsored browser that auto-fills your payment details for you?

Submitting any kind of proof will at least reduce the fake reports, though again there is risk of fabrication of the data however those things can be handled at court!
