The Kill Switch: How Governments Turn Off the Internet!

The internet feels permanent, always on, and impossible to shut down but in reality, governments around the world have the technical power to disconnect entire countries in minutes. So how does it actually work, and why is it almost never done? In this Knowledge Hub deep dive, we break down how governments can shut down the internet, from controlling Internet Service Providers and international gateways to manipulating routing protocols like BGP and DNS systems. You’ll learn how mobile networks can be disabled instantly, how countries can be digitally isolated without cutting a single cable, and why these shutdowns are far more complex and dangerous, than most people realize. But if governments have all this power, why don’t they use it more often? We explore the massive economic damage, technical risks, political backlash, and global consequences that make full internet shutdowns a last-resort decision. From financial systems and hospitals to protests, satellite communication, and alternative networks, this video explains what really happens when a nation goes offline. What You’ll Learn: How governments technically control the internet. How ISPs, BGP, DNS, and mobile networks are used in shutdowns. Why full internet blackouts are rare. The real economic and political costs of going offline. Why targeted censorship is now preferred over total shutdowns.
