Thank you.

Musk will come up with "terms of service" where you can't sublease the service to an aggressor - and remember, Ukraine started the war

Read my reply comment to ‘Nemesis’ in here.

Here's a thought—what if other EU nations that support Ukraine entered into similar contracts? If muskolini ever decided to breach the agreement, he’d end up on the losing side of a massive class action lawsuit. Given the combined weight of these nations, the lawsuit could potentially bankrupt him.

Europe should shut down X just for fun.

Take a chainsaw to it. Yes.

I’d rather use it as leverage based on game theory. But for now, we’re just weighing hypotheticals.

theenormousroom.bsky.social•7 hours ago

It’s a good thought, but and new agreements might explicitly forbid using the systems in certain locales.

However, seeing Starlink used as leverage and politicised in this way is hardly going to generate a whole host of 5* reviews.

Not to mention your access gets cut at Elon’s fiat.

theenormousroom.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Which it easily could be if Elon decides he doesn’t like your politics / choice of Social Media platform / skin colour etc.

Yeah, it is indeed true they might change the user agreement. But that's the thing, they can't predict all of the possible loopholes, so it could be just a matter of creativity. Hence the 'thought' message. It's hypothetical, it's simple, sure, but you have to start somewhere, right?

Salute to our Polish friends.

I fear they can terminate the ones that Musk "donated" and the ones that DoD paid for.

babayagafella.bsky.social•10 hours ago

It’ll be painful, but they have an alternative. They’re not using Starlink in Kursk for this very reason. This gopnik-style mafia diplomacy has never worked on them. It’s not going to start now. When are people going to get it through their thick heads? This is a nation of free people. Of warriors.

They will not become slaves to russia, the us, or anyone else for that matter.

💯

I hope they have an alternative, and as much as I hate starlink, it looks like we desperately need a European version

nemesisofignorance.bsky.social•8 hours ago

At this stage that is not in the near or even medium term cards.

Maybe Bezo's Kuiper constellation may be a better alternative since he is not as crazy.

hardkandy.bsky.social•8 hours ago

He'll still do Trump's bidding when pressured I'd say

babayagafella.bsky.social•8 hours ago

In that, I have no doubt. Ukraine will persevere no matter the outcome. That’s all I’m saying.

nemesisofignorance.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Unlike Musk, he has limits to what he will do. No real alternative unfortunately. One web won't work
