should be pretty easy to do once starlink has full global coverage... could easily circumvent ISPs

Starlink isn't above government laws the same way how Youtbe, Apple, Google, Facebook and your ISP aren't. If the EU/UK/Australian governments say 'jump', these companies will say 'how high' or face criminal charges. They aren't gonna die on a hill and go to jail to protect your anonymity and privacy when the armed law enforcement show up at their offices with subpoenas. Their business and freedom is more important than your privacy.

You need to talk to push for change in your democratic government, not try to find technical workarounds around government tyranny while going on with your day as if what your government is doing is normal.

Starlink itself is an ISP. so you're going to circumvent an ISP - with an ISP?
sure, why not? I'm not saying that I personally could, but the entire network of starlink satellites is owned by one person. Interesting to think about the possibilities at the very least
