Iran escalates threats against Starlink over internet control
Original: Iran escalates Starlink threats over fears of losing internet control
Iranian authorities are stepping up threats against the use of Starlink satellite internet, which they see as a way for citizens to bypass state control of online access. Officials fear losing their grip on the country's information space as satellite dishes and terminals allow Iranians to connect to the global internet outside government filtering.
Why now: Iran's government is moving against Starlink because it undermines its ability to control internet access and information during periods of unrest.
