Are you referring to the supposed shutting down of Starlink over Crimea during a Ukrainian operation? That was misinformation and never happened. The US government has control over Starlink in several different ways and you can be sure that if they really needed it turned on or off in any specific area they could have it done immediately.
Anyway these concerns are totally irrelevant to the original point about negativity on Threads because nobody there even realized that a Starlink competitor was what they were talking about.
