    spacex is allowing russia to use it

    Bold claim to suggest they would be defying US sanctions to Russia like that. Got anything to back that up? Not even the article that you didn’t read implies that.

      I’m no diplomat but I’m pretty sure this doesn’t break any laws.

      And if you know anything about Musk then it’s really not a bold claim.

        But you clearly didn’t read the article. This makes having dialog in the comments frustrating.

          I did though. Nowhere in the article does it mention this breaking any laws. Just that spacex doesn’t sell to Russia.

        It’s against US sanctions. Starlink doesn’t work in Russia (or Crimea) for this very reason.

        “If SpaceX obtains knowledge that a Starlink terminal is being used by a sanctioned or unauthorized party, we investigate the claim and take actions to deactivate the terminal if confirmed.”
