SpaceX says it has cut Starlink services to Myanmar scam camps
SpaceX terminates Starlink services to scam camps in Myanmar, with more than 2,500 devices disconnected amid military takeover and exploitation at the Thai-Myanmar border. Starlink technology linked to Chinese crime syndicates operating scam centers defrauding victims through romantic and investment schemes. The move aims to prevent misuse and sustain trust, as many victims subjected to grueling conditions and forced criminal activities in Myanmar's infamous scam industry. Military operations target these centers, but concerns remain about ongoing exploitation and the impact on their operations.
