Ok, this is straight plagiarism of the Guardian article: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/feb/01/uninstalli...

You can't just reword an article and claim it as your own (referencing The Guardian is not the same as using their article for the entirety of the article. That is really not OK.
