Didn’t Musk ask Brazil the same “or what” question and had to back down? Musk and Starlink do legitimate business in Myanmar, why put it all at risk just to protect those 2500 subscriptions?

Why is everyone with a keyboard so adamant to “fight” when compliance was obviously the better business decision?

You think Starlink should switch off in Sudan? Iran? Cuba?

There's no legit business in Myanmar or any of those other locations

> There's no legit business in Myanmar

I'm thinking the same. But there's probably plenty of illegitimate business, non-scammy terminals in the country which generate revenue.

Complying was the best option for Musk even if he doesn't care about Myanmar local law. It's a bad look to have your brand associated with supporting scam centers that defraud Americans as it was pointed out by the top US senator investigating the use of Starlink in the scam operations. This hits closer to home.
