I’m not sure how Starlink can be jammed across such a large area. This implies a massive number of jamming devices across a large area. Wouldn’t have thought that was extremely feasible. That said internet signals from space can’t be too strong and the power of a terrestrial jamming system may not have to be too strong.
This is a scary thought if certain other governments decide to implement similar tactics in the coming years.
They are about to be attacked so does this make sense in that context? Can it be used for targeting etc?
This is the playbook of every organized government in the world. If the masses can’t communicate, then the masses can’t coordinate.

Someone I speak to in Tehran hasn’t responded to me in 24 hours.
The organizers should start building meshtastic networks for comms if they haven’t already
Trump is looking to copy this play for sure
people will quickly learn how to run information network without internet, go oldschool. Since people read news across the world where govts shutdown internet. Soon people would start preparing
I’ve played online games with an Iranian friend for 3 years and this has happened about 5 times in that period.
I don’t see how starlink can be blocked.
Star link should have never been allowed to be created, whoever signed off on the projects for star link Is a domestic terrorists just as much as trump is.
America, China, Russia and any European country could do this too if things got to the point that “the powers that be” became scared that they’d become the “powers that were”.
They literally did this in 2009. This is not new.
…as 3 blind mice
So they’re able to disrupt starlink by jamming the signals? That must take enormous amounts of power to do that.
Time for LoRa Mesh communication. It’s pretty cool way to communicate without reliance on any service.
