#Musk’s sway in #military affairs in Washington & beyond–through #Starlink’s dominance in #satellite #communications & #SpaceX’s clout in #space launches–has reached a dimension previously limited to #sovereign #governments, alarming some regulators & lawmakers. “Elon Musk’s current global dominance exemplifies the dangers of concentrated #power in unregulated domains,” Martha Lane Fox, a member of Britain’s upper house of parliament, said during a debate earlier this year.
Upon #Musk’s order, #Ukraine troops suddenly faced a #communications #blackout, acc/to a Ukrainian military official, an advisor to the armed forces, & 2 others who experienced #Starlink failure near the front lines. Soldiers panicked, drones surveilling #Russia forces went dark, & long-range artillery units, reliant on Starlink to aim their fire, struggled to hit targets.
We all suspected it, now it’s confirmed.
#Musk ordered shutdown of #Starlink satellite service as #Ukraine retook territory from #Russia
A previously unreported order by #ElonMusk to cut satellite #communications over a portion of Ukraine disrupted a counteroffensive by Kyiv in the autumn of 2022. Reuters investigated the billionaire's order & its implications for countries increasingly reliant on his Starlink internet service.

#Denmark to provide European-produced #satellite communication services to Ukraine’s military
“Denmark has now contributed to strengthening #Ukraine's #satellite-based #communications in their #defense against #Russia. There is a very large potential in space-based solutions that can contribute to both #Ukrainian, #Danish, and #European defense,” Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said.

With only 500 letters to play with, I commend this summary from Monbiot.
Successive UK governments have sought to control and suppress protest, increasingly so as an ability to communicate without relying on commercial and state media has developed. ‘Our’ maladministration is not only continuing the trend but attempting to accelerate it.
Blurring the lines between terrorism and protest is a means to an end.
