Internet is super easy to kill, just shut down all the ISPs and there is no internet any more. The same goes with blockchain technology, they just need to block the access to those IPs running them. Of course they can´t shut all nodes but they don´t even need to.
Sadly internet is very complex and therefore centralized (in order to maintain it) while we could implement an internet that sort of works like the blockchain (p2p) not much effort or research went towards it so far (hope that will change).

Hi Johannes,
Thanks for the explanation. It's an eye opener. The thing is that I am not talking about the technical part. They can not shut down the internet because of the economic consequences. Just imagen your day at work or just in your freetime without internet. Everyone and every business uses internet and is dependend to some degree of the internet.
And shut down most of the modern economy in the process. Super Easy. /s
