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.

Well, I did not mean in a backdoor way. If google has a backdoor for the three letters agencies, I don't expect they would reveal it even if the whole country of Argentine flipped itself over.

I meant in a public way. The play store can install apps remotely through a google account but I have no idea how far this goes.
