So that's cut and dried misinformation, the whole premise is wrong, and easily, verifiably so. Here's a worse one though: in "Deep-Sea Fishers Fight for Wi-Fi", 404 media posts a not just misleading, but actively harmful narrative to the people affected.

With no connectivity for 10 months+ loneliness is crushing and you get no help in emergencies. 404's suggestion? A $15k Iridium system. Starlink is 1/10th the price. Pitching 5x a Filipino fisherman salary is the same as telling the sailors to get lost. Just to blindly hate Musk.

Telling poor sailors alone at sea effectively they have no affordable hope of help is unconscionable misinformation, all to grind a reporter's petty prejudice. Anyway, I cancelled my paid 404 media subscription and these two examples of misinformation should help explain why.
