SpaceX fears their internet Starlink will be used as a weapon by the Ukrainian military.



This was reported by Reuters.

According to journalists, SpaceX has restricted the Ukrainian military from using the Starlink satellite internet service to control drones in the region during the country's war with Russia.

According to SpaceX president and chief operating officer Gwynn Shotwell, SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service was never intended for use as a weapon.

According to SpaceX, the Ukrainian military is using Starlink to control drones and drop projectiles on the Russian occupiers. This allegedly goes beyond the agreement SpaceX made with the Ukrainian government. Because the contract was intended for humanitarian purposes.
