Recent reports as of February 15, 2024, highlight concerns surrounding Elon Musk's Starlink technology being exploited for controversial purposes. Three Chinese nationals were intercepted attempting to illegally enter the U.S. from Canada using Starlink technology to facilitate their entry early Wednesday morning, February 28. Additionally, Starlink terminals are reportedly being used by Russian forces to enhance their operations in Ukraine, despite SpaceX's claims of not doing business with Russia. Furthermore, SpaceX's negotiations with Vietnam over providing Starlink services are currently on hold. These incidents raise questions about the global implications and control of advanced satellite communication systems.
