"We will not do so unless at 'gunpoint'
SpaceX chief Elon Musk said on Saturday that its Starlink satellite broadband service has been told by some governments, not Ukraine, to block Russian news sources.
"We will not do so unless at 'gunpoint', sorry to be a free speech absolutist", he said in a tweet.
