flag SpaceX disabled 2,500 Starlink terminals in Myanmar’s border areas linked to scam operations.

flag SpaceX has disabled over 2,500 Starlink internet terminals linked to suspected scam centers in Myanmar’s border regions, a company executive confirmed on October 22, 2025, following an AFP investigation. flag The move targets facilities used in large-scale fraud schemes, including romance and business scams, that have proliferated amid the ongoing civil conflict. flag Despite a February crackdown and Thailand’s internet blockade, operations continued, with Starlink becoming a key connectivity tool. flag The Myanmar military claimed to have seized only 30 devices during a raid, but analysts say this is far below the number present. flag Experts note the junta’s actions appear symbolic, balancing pressure from China while allowing scam economies to persist through allied militias.
