Did you ever stop and think that maybe "turn off the internet" was a figure of speech? While this idea is outrageous, the government could always disconnect users from their ISP by ordering them to shut down, or if you're a loony, "taking over control."

No, they cannot shut down the internet, but they can disable millions of peoples connections if they wanted too.
