Iranians, and Billions of Humans, still not have free speech to
expose their oppressors: Muhammad, and Govt Rulers...


Elon Musk Says 100 Starlink Terminals "Active" In Iran Amid 100 Days Of Unrest

More than a hundred days since the Iranian anti-government protests
began, the longest since the 1979 Islamic revolution, SpaceX Chief
Executive Elon Musk announced Starlinks are operational in the region.

On Monday, Musk tweeted, "Approaching 100 Starlinks active in Iran."
He tweeted at Wall Street Silver, who posted a video showing Iranian
women walking around without hijabs.

    Streets of Iran now ... more freedom for the women to choose
whether they cover their hair or not.

In September, Musk said he would activate Starlink terminals in Iran.
At the time, he responded to the US Secretary of State Antony
Blinken's tweet that the US would "advance internet freedom and the
free flow of information" to Iranians.

Starlink satellite broadband service -- already in use across Ukraine
-- would allow Iranians to circumnavigate the government's
authoritarian control over the internet and social media platforms
amid widespread social unrest.

The government has blocked YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Blogger,
Telegram, Snapchat, and Medium for fear these Western social media
platforms could support continued uprisings and spread information
that acts like a megaphone. But with Starlink terminals, access to the
outside world is now possible.

Over the years, especially during the Arab uprisings a decade ago,
social media played a critical role in mobilizing young protesters --
some referred to the unrest as Facebook or Twitter revolutions.

Reuters nor any other Western media outlet questioned who or what
organizations were operating the terminals and for what purpose. If we
had to guess, one logical assumption might be the terminals are used
by anti-government groups with support from Western nations to
disseminate information from the outside world and help organize
protests to overthrow the government.

And this could be true.

    It's clear Elon Musk is coordinating with the White House in its
regime-change scheme targeting Iran

    Starlink is not a tool of "free speech"; it's a weapon of hybrid
warfare to destabilize a sovereign state (like the CIA's fake Twitter
in Cuba, ZunZuneo) https://t.co/vRpF07nnOl
