Police demands Starlink to reveal buyer of device found in $4.2 billion drug bust

[Theinsanegamer]

You are very confused. Starlink is *not* operating in India at present. Indian officials are demanding usage logs for a Starlink terminal while operating in international waters -- along with who purchased the terminal and much other private information.

Do you believe Iran, say, or Taliban officials in Afghanistan, have the right to demand private details of your Internet usage outside their country?

I think the lynchpin here is this bit "Starlink has spent years trying to secure licenses to operate in India. It appeared to have been successful last month when the country's telecom minister said Starlink was in the process of procuring clearances. The company has not yet secured these licenses, so it might be more willing than usual to help the authorities in this instance."

they're trying to get into india, and they'll likely play nice with their demands if it means access to a large new market.

Lol, LMAO even. Try getting out of your bubble sometime, your Overton window is not aligned correctly. X is only "Nazi" if your definition of Nazi is so broad that it includes ~50% of the American population.

you don't say

If it were my company, I'd tell them NO!

X is a nazi and far-right enabled social media. This is probably the reality check you need

To the rabid far left who think that their degree of leftness is "left of centre", almost everything else to their right is "far right".

As a company, starlink is a corporate citizen in every country they do business with. And as a citizen, starlink is required to comply with every law of the countries. If Indian laws required to provide infos on customers, starlink must logically comply. Is it ok for you or do you think corporations are above laws ?

What if these laws are crafted to enable persecution of minority races, religions, individuals because of beliefs that don't align with state propaganda?

You know how large the surface of the Earth is? Now imagine a surface of Earth every few feet up... That's how much space there is around Earth. "Orbit" is not just one extra surface that all objects have to share.

Well, volumetrically it would be Pi x d^3
The new circumference would be Altitude + earth radius x 2 x Pi.
Distance traveled would be unit of time allotted against whatever fractional portion of an hour you chose to measure, and further sh*tted up by the choice of either Km per hour, or Imperial mile unit of distance
Of course, an hour is still an hour, regardless of distance measuring standard. Thank goodness, ay?

I think, (and also hope), that surface area would be 1.5 times the volume.

OK, so that's as much 6th grade math as I;m capable of performing. Thankfully, for all concerned, I'll stop now.

You are right; huge numbers of satellites in LEO is a pain for astronomers. However, having that satellite com network is extremely useful to airlines, shipping lines, cruise lines, people living in very rural areas, trucking companies, the US & allied militaries, other government agencies (like the Forestry service or Coast Guard), and rich people with yachts. Between all those groups the astronomers are probably going to get the short end of the stick.

You're correct of course, but only to a certain degree. The global positioning network was quite sufficient for those purposes. and Musk (AFAIK) had nothing to do with it . People, airlines, and ships knew exactly where they were, before the first Starlink satellite ever launched.

Of course, porn from the GPS network was nonexistent. Depending on your POV or more precisely your concept of, or outward pretense regarding morality, at least we can thank Musk for small favors.

Meanwhile back at the studio, those nubile young "adult entertainment actresses" are thanking their male costars for big favors, so to speak.

Elon a Russian agent LOL. We all know the whole Russia nonsense was completely fabricated but people still believe it .

It is now clear that the inner circle of the Obama White House, including the former President himself, were coordinators of the entire Russia hoax from inception through the Mueller inquisition.

A coordinated conspiracy run from the Obama White House

That all elements of the senior departments of the major agencies of the United States Government were illegally weaponized to destroy a political opponent. A coordinated assault on the constitution and the Republic.

To sabotage an incoming President. Overthrow the government of the United States. Abuse their authorities to openly frame, smear and seek the destruction and criminal indictment of a duly elected President using the evidence they themselves fabricated.

Clapper said that everything he and John Brennan had done prior to and during the 2016 election was explicitly on Barack Obama’s orders.

Poor Donny, he's not a sociopath or a pathological liar, he's really the world's premier perennial victim..Everybody's out to get him. Help him out won'tcha please? You know deep inside you need one of his cheap Chinese copies of a Gibson Les Paul. Besides, one of those would make you the envy of every redneck on the block.Or maybe buy one of his NFT trading cards, with him cosplaying Attila the Hun. Could I interest you in one of his bibles? How about a pair of golden sneakers? The very least you could do to help him out, is spring for a tank of gas for his private jet. That would ease the constant stress and anguish from his constant persecution, would it not?

Did I say, "persecution"? Sorry, I meant constant prosecutions.

WOW LOL! Are you serious? Please tell me you're joking. Wow LEFT news have brainwashed a lot of people. Wow just wow!

Yeah, you're right it has. Just not half as severely as Fox News as brainwashed the right.
