Starlink puts "internet shutdown" in the hands of just one asshole oligarch.

Not really, but he does comply with every law.
Eventually yes, but it took 1 month or so of Twitter being blocked for the company to comply with a court order and have a representative in Brazil to receive court orders.
Starlink does it proactively. They come into a new jurisdiction, they purchase satellite spectrum, they achieve a carrier license and incorporate all metadata retention, blocklists and whatever and then sell their services.

Its not like elon is playing silly buggers with these laws, he is complying completely while championing free speech online.
