Comment on Starlink is now accessible across the White House campus, which was already served by fiber cable, after service was “donated”, as some cite security concerns.

  I wholeheartedly agree.

  However, it’s hard to say that AT&T, Comcast, Cox and the like aren’t all doing the same thing.

    The way I see stuff like this is that you don’t have to hand over your information on a silver platter directly to the agents.

    Like when a trainload of east germans was allowed to migrate to the west through a separate country, they just had to hand their passports to the Stasi before being let go.

    When the Stasi agents came to the train to collect the passports the east germans just threw them on the floor instead of handing them over, that is kinda how this should be viewed.

      … we should further have a carrier pidgeon with USB Flash disks system for ultra slow but highly private Internet access.

        That’s called a sneakernet. Although, if you’re talking actual pigeons, you may be interested in RFC1149.

        Didn’t they used to do this in Cuba, to distribute digital media without having good internet access?

    Mark Klein showed us this was true years ago.

  Well now the Chinese and Russians just need to get a way into Shartlink and they can also monitor you and your government.

  I recently bought a van and am planning on road tripping while working. I had assumed that I would get starlink so I could work pretty much anywhere.

  That is dead and I guess I’ll have to make sure I’m within range of a cell tower on working days.

  Run everything through a VPN tunnel instead?

    Don’t support fascists. Even if you have a VPN.
