If we had the money, there's no legal repercussions to going up there and deorbiting the satellites right? Maybe install a defense platform to shoot down any more from spacex, oneweb or whoever else tries putting them up.

If you had that kind of money, you could just build extensive ground-based fiber and radio networks that invalidate Starlink.

Lmao, what would ever make you think deliberately destroying communication infrastructure would be legal?

If you're talking about shooting satellites out of orbit from the ground, you don't understand how orbital spaceflight works. If you're talking about putting weapons in space, that's a violation of the Outer Space Treaty.
Also, blowing up satellites just creates clusters of space junk we can't get rid of, so it's a non-starter.
It's obviously a joke lol.
And we could easily deploy land based connectivity solutions with the money being spent on satellite internet.
This is one of the dumbest takes I've ever seen here.
They're a US company, and the US military uses Starlink for some applications. They'd fuck you up very quickly.
You are very smart.
