Not quite true, but merits of me saying this is murky (I'm not going to fault Starlink).

In Southern Africa, they were bringing in grey imports of Starlink from the UAE and these units have been blocked.

Except Ukraine

Not true at all, Elon Musk has already cut off access for Ukraine because of his own personal views[1]. There's a reason why he's currently hated in most of Europe.

That article is heavily slanted, while providing the facts hidden in the text: Starlink was never enabled in Sevastopol. Musk simply denied an informal request to enable it to be used in a first strike, and deferred that decision to the DoD, which he contacted.

Which is the correct thing to do when random people ask private companies to go to war.

What a villain.
