STARSHIELD is not Starlink. STARSHIELD is government operated.
The amount of ignorance going around by people who jump to conclusions is absurd. Media is complicit.
@lukich_vrn@IAPonomarenko Saying that ALL sovereign states and nations agree that Starlink is "primarily a weapon" is the most terrifying thing I have ever heard. We are governed by idiots. God help us.
@lukich_vrn@IAPonomarenko Who is "everyone"? Starlink has always and only been for non-military applications. Nobody can use it unless they contractually agree to NOT use it for military purposes (Ukraine violated this agreement). StarShield, the military version, is controlled by the US government.
@markglasgow2@igornovikov@grok Conflicting reports on who controls "StarShield". Even though it is built and launched by SpaceX, isn't it controlled by the US DOW?
@DerrickEvans4WV Funny how people think because there were no computers there was inferior technology. Do you also believe that we didn't make nuclear weapons? The technology is just as difficult; but nobody thinks nuclear weapons were famed.
@wholemars I came to the conclusion six months ago that AI (not even SI ๐) would be far better at governing than the corrupt fools that are in power today.
