Google has a remote kill switch in Android



It seems that Apple is not the only one with a remote kill switch, with the ability to remove applications from your device, Google has one in Android as well.

If Google discovers a product that violates the developer distribution agreement, in such an instance, Google retains the right to remotely remove those applications from your device at its sole discretion.

Unlike Apple, who didn’t reveal the kill switch until a developer found it, Google has been up front about it and included it in the Android Market terms of service.
