So does this mean that Elon thinks Starlink is responsible for whatever its internet access is used for? If Starlink can manipulate their service to inhibit war time activities, why wouldn't they be responsible for not shutting off access to people or groups facilitating crimes, such as distributing CSAM or drugs? Seems like Elon is admitting that Starlink does have the capability.
