Elon Musk's Starlink in Pakistan under scrutiny amid UK grooming controversy backlash
Pakistan is hoping to mend ties with Elon Musk's Starlink after the internet provider faced backlash over a UK grooming scandal; the country was experiencing poor internet quality following its national firewall deployment last year.
Pakistan is seeking to repair its relationship with SpaceX and its CEO Elon Musk after Pakistani users took to social media platform X to express their dissatisfaction over poor internet quality in January, which was attributed to a national firewall deployed by the government last year. The issue has sparked concerns about internet freedom and access to critical services. Musk's Starlink satellite internet service is seen as a potential solution to the country's connectivity problems. The Pakistani government may be looking to partner with SpaceX to improve its citizens' online experience.
