Comment on Russia’s Starlink use sparks probe into SpaceX compliance with US sanctions

So your argument is that it can’t be because it is turned off for specific regions.
- we cannot check if it might be available for Russian forces.
- the Russians use it so it must help them.

Starlink works near the front lines because otherwise Ukraine would not be able to use it either. However the front lines are constantly changing and you can’t expect anyone to be able to accurately track them at the resolution that would be required for SpaceX to make sure it immediately stops working once you move to the occupied side.

Oh no?! Requiring a multi billion dollar company that literally does rocket science, to actually take measures to not have the Russian military use their infra while invading another country. What a bizarre idea, no way this will be possible for these poor corporations.
Maybe stop acting as if a poor company needs protecting. Most large corporations need a firm boot up their ass. Companies owned and operated under space karen need two!

You do not have a clue about the efforts SpaceX is putting into trying to stop this from happening.

So? We can see the effects and conclude… not enough.
It is hilarious I’m getting downvoted for stating a multi-billion dollar company should assure a dictatorial regime should not be able to use their infra to commit warcrimes and invade another country.
Space Karen is a douche nozzle. He actively wants to remove worker protections to be able to exploit workers more, questions the need for NATO… worshipping the billionaire class is not going to help anyone except the billionaires.
