> SpaceX will be pressured by the governments in the jurisdictions where their staff reside (where their physical threats of enforcement can be carried out) to selectively censor/blackout or otherwise wiretap use of the system, ostensibly for military purposes, in another tragic case of stupid, outdated nationalistic thinking trying to force its way into outer space and cyberspace. They will comply, silently and without fanfare, as all of the other telecommunications carriers have, excepting with great recognition the brave Joseph Nacchio, because they don’t want to suffer the same fate he did.
Anyone remember the SWANsat project,[0] which was going to use a VPN service[1] as its client gateway? They called it "SWANSAT LIBERTY™ Suite".
Somehow, I doubt that Starlink has anything like that in mind. But still, one could use it with any anonymity network, unless that was somehow blocked.
