Starlink is now accessible across the White House campus, which was already served by fiber cable, after service was “donated”, as some cite security concerns.

White House officials said the installation was an effort to increase internet availability at the complex. They said that some areas of the property could not get cell service and that the existing Wi-Fi infrastructure was overtaxed.

In any healthy democracy, this would have been seen as a scandal exposing signs of corruption and would have likely resulted in the dissolution of the government and early election.
But the US is not a healthy democracy.
Not to worry, "some cited security concerns." We're all set
Besides the security concerns, I want to know what they’re using it for, and how much bullshit they’re hiding by avoiding the official network.
It’s certainly not a speed and convenience thing.
Yes. That’s the joke. I’m unsure how the burning terminator dying with a thumbs up wasn’t clear enough that there is obviously more to this than just “security concerns”
The corruption is clear, obvious, and blatant. Everyone knows about it, but there’s not a whole lot they can do. A good chunk of our citizens picked it on purpose.
There is actually so much we and the courts/Congress can do. We're just choosing not to do it, unfortunately.
Why don't you call the police? Serious question, not sure how it works in the US, but there should be some institution where you can report someone on suspicion of committing a crime. They would then need to investigate.
Given it's unrepresentative voting system I think how much is enough to be a democracy. T hot take for people that see democracy. Two parties to choose from is just one more than a clear dictatorship. If neither actually represents you then yeah it's not healthy .
Agreed, except for one point. It's an oligarchy. Our "dictator" was just selling cars on the White House lawn. Capitalism won to get to it's late stages, happy to let racist hatred and russian influence fester for continued capital self-interest
