After months of increasing totalitarianism and severe repression, the Taliban have physically cut all fiber optic connections into the country, blacking out internet and cellular services and shutting down Kabul Airport. Claims are being made that it is to stop „vice“.
It seems like the Taliban are concerned about people getting information in from the outside, but unlike China or North Korea, they lack the knowledge and technical capability to implement any form of electronic surveillance, so they chose the violent option instead.

I understand why something like Starlink isn’t available legally in Afghanistan, but this is the ultimate use-case scenario for Starlink in Afghanistan. Completely independent satellite internet connectivity would bypass telecom shutdowns in repressive regimes.
