On one hand, fuck Musk. On the other hand, internet from space that can't be blocked by governments is a net positive in my book.
What if payments to Starlink are blocked by Brazilian government?
Starlink is free in Brazil right now.
Is it? Didn't realise Elon was running a charity.
It's literally in the article you're responding to.
You expect me to read the article‽😳
Anyway, I seemed to miss that and this is just Elon being a petulant manchild. But Starlink management has decided to comply with blocking Xitter as of today.
