fast technology reported on september 25th,according to media reports, the argentine government has asked google to remotely uninstall the pirated iptv application magis tv that was sideloaded and installed by users on all argentine android devices.
magis tv is an application that provides streaming of pirated film and television resources. it is not available on google play and is mainly installed on android tv boxes.
after receiving a complaint from an anti-piracy group, the argentine government seized hundreds of tv boxes equipped with magis tv.
to further combat infringement, the argentine court issued an order requiring google to immediately take technical measures to uninstall the app from android devices in argentina.
the court pointed out that google, as the developer of the android open source project, must take the necessary technical measures in argentina to immediately uninstall magis tv from the android system.
google usually uses the google play protect protection mechanism to remotely warn, disable, or even uninstall malware to protect user safety.
however, argentina's requirements this time go beyond conventional security protection measures and involve applications that are installed by users themselves and do not pose a security threat.
at present, google has not responded to this matter. it is unclear whether google will comply with the requirements of the argentine court or file an appeal to communicate with the argentine court to find a better way to combat piracy.
