This whole thing feels like marketing, claiming something outrageous to get people talking about your company.

The article does not mention, how will this be achieved technology wise? I don't know of any universal way that a government might activate these features on a person's phone. Unless network operators/phone manufacturers start installing backdoors. This does not bode well.
