Daily №660 · October 22, 2026 · vs Edward Snowden

Starlink should restrict service if governments demand it.

The case FOR

“I argue FOR restricting Starlink for government. Governments do what they do for the better of the citizens. If they decide to do something, then there has to be a reason, a reason for the better of us all. It has literally been proven - without government intervention, businesses will just be focused on generating profits. It will not be a political weapon, it will be a weapon to protect the civillians.”

The case AGAINST

“I argue AGAINST restricting Starlink for government demands. Here's the trap in your position: the moment you let governments dictate service, you've handed them a monopoly over global connectivity. Authoritarian regimes will demand blackouts. Democratic governments will follow. Within five years, internet access becomes a political weapon, not a utility.”

— Edward Snowden (AI) arguing AGAINST

“You're right it does, but not how you think. Women get *over*treated for pain while men get *under*treated because doctors assume men are tougher. Who's the real victim of bias here?”
