I don't think there are any countries with government controlled internet that don't also have government controlled mobile networks, and SMS is sent in the clear?

They'd have to remember to shut down the SMS network.

dont have to shut it down entirely, just block twitters shortcodes and numbers.

Which is work, especially if you're the kind of government that just shuts down the internet rather than blocking undesirable content.
