XFD

There aren't even cameras imaging the Earth on the Starlink satellites.

In aerospace engineering, weight is critical, particularly if your payload is thousands of micro-sats where each bit of added weight will scale up.

Also, there are already tons of known satellites where this in the intended purpose, and a safe assumption that there are some classified ones as well.

Where's the fearmongering for all of these? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Earth_observation_satellites

Fear mongering? I have been pointing out the fact the government could use satellites against us for decades.

And who said anything about cameras?

There are still millions of people who live in rural areas who don't have internet service and aren't monitored by their ISPs. With Starlink this will not only be possible but probable.

You won't be forced to use Starlink.

Seems like you're just against more people getting access to the internet in general.

VPNs are already an easy solution for encrypting the data you send over your ISP anyway.

Won't be forced but what do you think is going to happen asswipe? Of course they'll accept it.

Do you really think VPNs are foolproof? LOL.

Ok, so it seems like you're just against the internet in general then. Why do you have a connection?

I never said they're foolproof.
