Maxar has cut off satellite imagery access to Ukraine, undoubtedly due to pressure from the U.S. government. This means that not just classified, but commercially available unclassified intelligence products are being cut off. I now fully expect Starlink to be next.

USA's #Maxar isn't just cutting off classified satellite imagery to #Ukraine, but commercial unclassified services. How long until Starlink follows?
I'm not sure if the White House has thought thru the signal this is sending the world:
If you use American tech, cloud or telecoms, it can be turned off on a whim *while you're being invaded & bombed* to strongarm your country to sign a deal you don't want.
Imagine how many govts are currently frantically trying to migrate away from US services.
