It may still be a good idea, but it require change.

Or, like it is now;

Someone leaks sensitive information to the media. Government tracks phone. Government dispatches goon. Government orders phone company to prevent phone from working to prevent victim from alerting the media, recording the incident, calling for help, etc. Victim is disappeared.

I don't see any difference.
