> Starlink is not licensed to operate in Myanmar
> Myanmar’s military has shut down a major online scam operation near the border with Thailand, detaining more than 2,000 people and seizing dozens of Starlink satellite Internet terminals
So Myanmar seized some terminals and Starlink disabled the accounts?
- shellfishgene 1y agoAbout 80 were seized in raids, SpaceX disabled 2500.
- noselasd 1y agoYes, seems so - but they shut down a lot more terminals too, not just the seized ones. And it seems the biggest reason for them shutting down the terminals was pressure from US Senator Maggie Hassan to shut down scam centers, not the government in Myanmar.
