Soft paywall, more of a minor speedbump.

This is hard to dismiss as a mere "hit piece". The main point is some people expressing concern that one erratic person, sometimes seemingly pro-Russian, has so much control over important infrastructure. The main example is Ukraine, but Taiwan is mentioned too. Despite measured negativity, it is also mentioned how Starlink has helped Ukraine, with a positive comment from Ukraine's digital minister.

It also has some nice animations and pictures (though the Starlink interconnect diagram looks hopelessly wrong).
