Pure 100% linkbait. If you actually read the patent the one place where they mention government blackout is clearly in the context of the agents of the government blacking out their own devices so as not to give themselves away, not some sort of "kill switch" for their targets. It is like a more extreme version of the mute switch. All the things describes in the patent pertain to opting-in to policies that shut down aspects of the phone in certain environments.
