I'm not arguing against your username, but this article is about an Israeli malware campaign using ad bids to specifically target itself towards Starlink users. There's nothing about Starlink itself being complicit.

I'd think if Starlink wanted to surveil their users (they probably do) they could find a more direct route than this (they probably have).

For one mistake? Seems like that would be appropriate if he had a track record of bad behavior perhaps.
