   From that article:

   "Many people tried to take out their phones and broadcast the protest
   live, but Cuban authorities shut down internet service throughout the
   afternoon."

   Jim Bell's comment:

   While some people don't like the Starlink system, it might help bypass
   a despotic government's ability to shut off the public's access to the
   Internet during some critical protests.

   'Not liking' something presumes that you can evaluate the costs versus
   the benefits of a given technology.  Can that really be done, in an
   objective way?

   I'd rather see a situation where a government can't even attempt to cut
   off the population from the world's Internet.
