You're being ridiculous. The equipment is being used in Ukraine, not Russia and devices don't violate sanctions. People and Organizations do.
There's a Pentagon working group responsible for dealing with the proliferation issue in Ukraine and the Pentagon claims SpaceX is proactive and fully cooperative.
Starlink isn't operative in the areas of Ukraine subject to sanctions and SpaceX has no agreement with any Russian entity to supply them with equipment. They don't accept Russian payments or deliver to Russia
Any terrorist group can use any similar product. You can go online and buy similar products. Did you somehow think Starlink was the first company with SATCOM or phased arrays? I've noted the Taliban leadership has a preference for iPhones and Kim Jung Un drives a BMW.
The Taliban also used SATCOM on drones before Starlink existed.
Taiwan doesn't want Starlink. When they are ready to deal they'll get it. Like many countries and territories have.
Read that article you linked and stop with jumping to conclusions on headlines. You'll get the insights you need. A hint is SpaceX doesn't do joint ventures.
Starlink is already heavily regulated by multiple regulators
