The Guardian is reporting on a newly discovered bug in IOS which causes iDevices to continually crash and reboot.
Once the user has entered what its discoverer, security researchers Skycure, dubs the “no iOS Zone”, there’s no way to fix their phone other than escaping the range of the malicious network; every time it reboots, it crashes almost immediately.
The basis of the attack uses a “specially crafted SSL certificate”, typically used to ensure a secure connection, to trigger a bug in the operating system that crashes out any app using SSL.

As long as government is permitted to smack people on a whim because they don't like them (as been shown). They can't be trusted and thus the people will not accommodate their "requests". However when it comes to the ability to go full fascist, no organization can ever be trusted with that. It's inherent in gaming theory.
