I am sure every government have internet kill switch by now, so no surprise here

Also In Iran all internal, locally hosted websites/apps were available during this time.

I really hope new technologies such as Starlink or others can help this terrifying reality. I agree with you that government's have kill switches, why wouldn't they? Very effective way of controlling people considering all is controlled with the devices we use everyday.
