Not to take away from your point but I think you mean to say Starlink - it's a separate company. Governments could block sales of the customer equipment, but once they're in it would be almost impossible to locate and confiscate them all. They could order termination of service (based on coordinates or serial numbers), but there's no way for them to physically control that if the company refuses to do so.
