Yes I already did so but that also didn't prevent the app to do malicious activity.
First I am curious how it got installed as system app?? Do we allow any apps to be system apps?? Also I want to understand from SELinux point why we don't enforce such issues?? Or till how far we think of protecting the device from such issues??
