Elon owns the Network Operations Center for Starlink. I can only imagine the type of data/intelligence he has access to.
You don't need to know what the message is about when you know where it comes from and where it's going. A lot of security breaches come from that king of knowledge.
Aka metadata.
Indeed, and then they decrypt it if you're a Ukranian boat.
It's not that easy as just checking a box that says "enable decryption". Not saying they can't decrypt traffic, but it's not trivial if you don't have the private keys.
Only metadata, but that is enough. Who sends how much data from where to where.
They don't provide the encryption though. Star-Link just provides an Ethernet cable, the same way your modem/router/whatever at home does.
