As long as the protocol is easy to detect and block.
If whatever technology that is being used is so intertwined into the base of all use cases (including totally legal) and legal vs. illegal is practically indistinguishable at scale, then decentralization cannot be blocked without physically blocking all the legal use cases too: sure they can "cut cables" but it will have much more greater consequences as they have just cut cables connecting all the legal activity too.
I mean, this is literally a case of killing off the general infrastructure to stop illegal activities.
DNS can be used for both legal and illegal purposes, and the French courts authorized dropping nukes on them to stop illegal activities with no damns given to the legal because the laws cited provided no such safeguards or reservations.
