A magistrate of the TSJC (Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia) has ordered Google to delete a mobile app that Catalan president Carles Puigdemont had publicised through his Twitter account. The app allows Catalans to find information about the organisation of the 1st October referendum.
In the order, the judge writes: "as can be seen in the information now provided, we wouldn't see the announcement of web pages or domains through the social networks, rather of links for downloading applications to mobile phones with information about the referendum; specifically, of the location of polling stations, voting places, localisation through Google maps of the location of a polling station, or the possibility to share a link with the location of a polling station".
Mercedes Armas, the judge in question, was referencing this tweet from president Puigdemont:
