#Starlink just raised the monthly fees for aviation access from $50/month to…wait for it…$1000/month for aircraft that go faster than 300 MPH.

Some pilots of small aircraft bought and installed Starlink receivers in the hopes of getting real-time weather, icing, and turbulence reports over satellite, all of which was accessible for $50/month up to 450 MPH.

Without warning, Starlink raised prices to $250/month for 300 MPH, and $1000/month for 450 MPH customers.

Many customers predictably terminated their subscriptions. The money they spent on equipment and installation is gone for good, and they’ve lost their real time weather feed.

Serves them right for going with an Elon product, I guess. Only disappointment and rugpulls await. And you’re making a Nazi richer, so, tough noogies.

We strongly oppose the Unified Attestation initiative and call for app developers supporting privacy, security and freedom on mobile to avoid it. Companies selling phones should not be deciding which operating systems people are allowed to use for apps.

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously.

To be clear: Signal’s encryption and infrastructure have not been compromised and remain robust. These attacks were executed via sophisticated phishing campaigns, designed to trick users into sharing information – SMS codes and/or Signal PIN – to gain access to users’ accounts.
