For better or worse, companies will comply with lawful requests. In the event of US Civil Unrest, I think it would be much harder than in other regimes to exert this type of control, and would cause a much broader global impact to economic activity. The same would happen with any pan-european "blackout". For the economic reasons alone, I rate the chances of "kill-switch" a zero. It makes for great reporting about power, but the practicality is zero.
