Huh, I did not know the person making the complaint is a Bolsonaro supporter. Still, I expect that Brazil has lawful intercept (LI) regulations and enforces them on telcos and ISPs.
Also, by "ground stations" I mean downlinks that are part of Starlink's infrastructure, and that would be connected to an LI system. Not user terminals. As far as I know, there are no "rogue" telecom providers that do not observe LI requirements.
The first generation satellites can't communicate with each other. The newer ones can, which means they can cover territory that has no ground stations by relaying traffic to satellites that can see a ground station. This is a big obvious advantage for Starlink but it complicates LI somewhat. It does not make it so difficult that Starlink or the countries it operates in could not do LI on Starlink.
