Ask HN: Can governments across the world shutdown Bitcoin nodes?

I couldn't the answer to this anywhere on the nets. Can goverments across the world shutdown Bitcoin nodes in a concerted effort at the protocol or traffic level ?

One possibility is they can outlaw the nodes, making it illegal to run a node with severe consequences.

Other possibility is block at protocol ISP level on massive scale.

Is this possible ?
