So this app isn’t in the android app-store, but you can side-load it, and yet Google have still been ordered to remove it.
They’ve been ordered to update the operating system to make it uninstall a particular app.
This seems pretty mad, right?
They’ve specified a file-hash and a apk filename so.
What if the app-makers just release a new app, only the name has a “2” at the end. Is google required to uninstall that too? I guess not.
What if it’s a completely different name, and the code’s gone through an optimizer?
What it it’s a fork from another company which has some functions disabled?
How the hell can a court hope to keep up with this arms-race they have introduced?
Copyright maximalists are out there man, far out.
Can Google agree to this? Is it even possible? Does anyone ever actually update their smart-TV?
