The Tornado Cash contract is immutable, there is no active governance component for that protocol. It isn't possible to stop it from functioning after deployment, except to stop the chain it is running on.

The governance you are referring to is some auxiliary support stuff, like anonymity mining.

That doesn't seem right. They link this diagram in their docs that show the parts of the contract that can be controlled by governance: https://viewer.diagrams.net/?highlight=0000ff&edit=_blank&la...
I don't know when or where that is from, all I know for certain is that for at least 2 years now, the contracts have been immutable and non-upgradeable, by anybody.

Edit: also idk where you're seeing the governance component in that flow you linked, there doesn't appear to be one...
