Starlink updated its Global Privacy Policy on January 15, according to the Starlink website. The policy includes new details stating that unless a user opts out, Starlink data may be used “to train our machine learning or artificial intelligence models” and could be shared with the company’s service providers and “third-party collaborators,” without providing further details.

Yeah, the privacy part is a huge factor too. Yes the speed and performance was very good for me, especially since I am rural. I wouldn't go for starlink unless it paid me enough to pay for a different ISP

I think you can easily use a VPN at the router level for you (as long as you have a modem set to bridge mode, and bridge a router of your choice to it), and that way, you'll at least protect yourself a bit (DNS comes first).

Absolutely, those are great tips for being safe, but my money would still go to musk, and that I can't abide. While its very difficult sometimes to avoid putting money in questionable places we try to vote with our wallets

It unfortunately goes to a Khazar (I'm a partial Khazar, what most of y'all call a partial "Jew"), so I get the sentiment.
