Good question. I think because Steem is distributed across a blockchain database and stored on many different computers / servers etc., it might be very difficult to shut down it down. They might instead target the users trying to access the database or the tools they use to access it, i.e. shutting Steemit down, regulating browsers, ISPs, etc. #BoycottGovernment
