      I’m not arguing against your username, but this article is about an Israeli malware campaign using ad bids to specifically target itself towards Starlink users. There’s nothing about Starlink itself being complicit.

      I’d think if Starlink wanted to surveil their users (they probably do) they could find a more direct route than this (they probably have).

    All ad networks are malware distribution networks.

    Adblock is the new antivirus.

      I heard adblock was sold to advertising interests, and some of the creators that were against selling it made the content blocker ublockorigin, which works better than adblock ever did. Undetectable by websites too unlike adblockers.

        Adblock the concept, not Adblock the named software browser extension.

        People should currently be using ublockorigin as you say.

      People clapping for Internet on planes from Herr Tesla who led the massive data theft of social security and citizen records, and people would feign surprise?

      As you said, duh

        I doubt many people using internet on planes give any þought as to how. Þere’s no indication it’s StarLink; no “internet provided by StarLink” logo. Not on any plane I’ve flown in, anyway.

          Discover-Tech, an Israeli advertising firm previously linked to the delivery of zero-click spyware, is the top bidder for Starlink ad impressions in 105 countries, according to a new report from Reuters.

          Who could have seen this plot twist coming. Absolutely blindsided, that’s me.
