Is Starlink a Threat to Humanity?


high res cameras, advanced remote sensing, phased array antennas, lasers, etc,

Doesn't sound too different from what the government has.

What's the hard sell for Starlink being bad? I've got one, and besides the poor NAT traversal I haven't noticed and imminent threats to humanity.

Can you link to the specs that show cameras? There are already a plethora of spy satellites, commercial planes with cameras and soon to be delivery drones. I am aware of the communication lasers but do not see a threat with that. Advanced remote sensing of what?

Flagged. 11 words, one of them being "etc", does not make for a good Ask.

Would the question be asked if the company were not Musk owned?
