"#NYT study on Fri notes tht #ElonMusk has steadily come to dominate #satellite internet tech thru #Starlink tech made by his #SpaceX rocket co, & using tht dominance to restrict Ukraine’s #military activity like: leaving troops w/out communication capacity...which conflicts w/ US #FedGovt Ukrainian support initiatives...who btw contracts w/ SpaceX. Since 2019, Musk has positioned 4,500 of 42,000 satellites planned to control more than 50% of the 🌍 ’s working satellites." #HeatherCoxRichardson

But this is the huge difference between restricting versus declining to promote.
Just because starlink isn't supporting some operation doesn't mean it is restricting that operation, it's just not participating in it.
It's a critical factual difference.
