Samsung haven’t been getting great press lately, thanks to an alleged fault with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphone. The fault apparently causes them to, well, explode. To make things worse, someone has already modded the phone into GTA V, where you can use it as an exploding projectile.

It’s pretty funny, but Samsung don’t seem to think so, as the tech giant has hit the creator’s YouTube video of the mod with aDMCA takedown notice.
