SpaceX says it has cut internet access to more than 2,500 Starlink terminals used by online scam operations in Myanmar, following reports that the company’s satellite network had become a crucial lifeline for the billion-dollar industry.
Lauren Dreyer, SpaceX’s vice-president for Starlink business operations, said on X that the company had “disabled over 2,500 Starlink kits in the vicinity of suspected scam centres” in Myanmar.
