How can leaders of a country like Russia or Iran or whomever shut down the internet? Is there not some hacker or cracker way to open it back up?

If your phone was turned off you wouldn’t be able to comment, internet works on the same principle if it’s turned off then you can’t connect to it to hack it and the place they would have to go to to connect to it directly is probably guarded by people that will most likely use bullets to ask you what you are doing there, this isn’t Watch Dogs, reality is a lot more dangerous.
