Yes. But the author incorrectly uses the word steemit which means this particular web-client of actual blockchain, steem. Steemit is very easy to shutdown forever. Steem, however, is not, and more clients would appear if this one is blocked (steemd.com for example). You do need to store your keys in a safe place though, in case you will need them on a new client.
