Starlink has been told by some governments (not Ukraine) to block Russian news sources. We will not do so unless at gunpoint.<br />

Sorry to be a free speech absolutist.</p>

Musk claimed in a Twitter post that Starlink had &ldquo;been told by some governments (not Ukraine) to block Russian news sources.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
&ldquo;We will not do so unless at gunpoint,&rdquo; he pledged. &ldquo;Sorry to be a free speech absolutist.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
After one person criticized Musk and accused Russian media outlets of being &ldquo;propaganda,&rdquo; the billionaire responded, &ldquo;All news sources are partially propaganda, some more than others.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
Last week, Musk had announced that his Starlink satellite internet program was now active in Ukraine after Kiev&rsquo;s Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov begged the SpaceX CEO for assistance after Russia launched the military operation against Ukraine.</p>

Musk&rsquo;s Starlink satellite internet is one of the only communications services running in war-struck Ukraine at this moment. The company&rsquo;s CEO Elon Musk had earlier warned Starlink users of being targeted as it is the only non-Russian communications service running in crisis-hit Ukraine.&nbsp;</p>
