Starlink is the latest internet boogeyman.
AP reports that Brazilian federal agents are fighting a new enemy: Starlink satellite internet service that is allegedly aiding illegal mining operations in the Amazon rainforest. Obviously illegal rainforest mining is bad, but this all smacks of the same aggro law enforcement angle against tech like encryption, which is a benefit to society and an incidental boon for some criminal activity.
It would be nice to shut down use of this service to raid a critical natural resource, but I hope it doesn’t compromise broader internet access for Brazilians.
