A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

He will provide it until people rely on it and then rip it away to charge out the nose for access. Or block access altogether
see: ukraine
This.
That dumbass did it with Ukraine and will do it again. But hey: hE pReVeNtEd A nUcLeAr WaR!
The closer analogy would be him turning off Starlink access in areas where people from Gaza would use it to attack Israel.
better than no internet at all
I mean if u have better solution please share
Only works if there are already Starlink setups in Gaza. Unless he's going to ship them in somehow.
NEW BUSINESS IDEA. STAR DROP. SEND PACKAGES THROUGH SPAAAAACE
PACKAGE DELAYED REASON: BURNED UP IN EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE DURING RE-ENTRY
There are no Starlinks in Gaza. And there won’t be so long as the war is going on. But Elon can’t let something happen in the world without trying to make it about him.
Stupid news orgs continue to lap up his verbal diarrhea.
I don't understand how every Elon Musk's tweets are deemed "world news" worthy.
Some people just reflexively downvote anything musk related, the point of this post was about starlink access to gaza while it is basically under total communication blackout
Just my personal opinion here, it would be news worthy if actions were already underway to deploy Starlink to Gaza. At this stage, it's nothing more than a tweet...
I’m curious if anything more actually needs to be done. Isn’t StarLink already available globally? Is he just reaffirming that? Is he pledging free access?
Starlink is theoretically available globally but you need the equipment to connect to it which is very unlikely to be in Gaza already and won’t be allowed to enter.
Probably because his goal is to give IDF the terminal gps cords after they are in use to target for bombings, which the US tax payers are giving both the bombs and billions USD every year to support the IDF bombings.
Tomorrow: Elon calls everyone a pedophile and cuts access to allegedly prevent alien invasion.
By which I mean his statements are worthless. He lies and backtracks so much that I would want to see some actual movement before trying to care what he says.
Is this even possible ? Isn't the idf already jamming everything around the strip, and could they just jam starlink frequencies ?
