It’s really nothing even remotely comparable to the example you gave when you think about it for more than 30 seconds.
Firstly it’s a capability that they can’t actually acquire elsewhere.
Secondly, there’s a very clear way to identify and disable these particular locations and choosing not to do so is an active choice.
This isn’t a “hit piece” I think you might just not have read things properly or have some reading comprehension issues.
- al_borland 1y agoRegarding the second point, did Starlink choose not to do anything, or did it not get in front of the right people? Tagging Elon in an X post and expecting a response isn’t realistic as the only form of contact. I assume he’s tagged so much it isn’t possible to read them all, let alone reply to them all. Wired reaching out for comment is the press, where I assume “no comment” is the typical response to everything, as it is with most companies.
- mdhb 1y agoHe is currently being asked to front a senate committee on this issue I believe, it’s certainly not a case of he was randomly tagged in a tweet and just found out. This story from wired is new but this has been a known problem for quite some time.
- mlindner 1y ago> Secondly, there’s a very clear way to identify and disable these particular locations and choosing not to do so is an active choice. This isn't actually true though. For the same reason they had difficulties finding Russian military users of Starlink dishes. They know where the dishes are but they don't know who is using them or what purpose they are being used for.
