A crackdown on Magis TV has led a judge in Argentina to order Google to remotely uninstall the sideloaded IPTV app from Android devices.
In instructions to Google, Judge Rossignoli says that the company must “adopt the necessary technical means to immediately uninstall from Android systems that report IP addresses in the territory of the Argentine Republic (which can be verified by the IP addresses assigned to this country), the application named Magis TV.”
"What was achieved is an unprecedented court order, which is in the process of being analyzed by Google – we understand that they cannot deny it – which is to uninstall, through the Android operating system update, the application on all devices that have an IP address in Argentina,” [prosecuter Alejandro] Musso says.

They think alphabet agencies can’t hack/infect/bug their fairphone at will without them even noticing.
Hahaha they think I actually own a phone.
How do you run Graphene on a Fair phone?
I would also like to know how you did that because as far as I’m aware Fairphone is not supported.
