Sen. Tillis calls for accountability after Starlink slowdown in Ukraine

Sen. Thom Tillis expressed concern over SpaceX's recent decision to temporarily slow down its Starlink satellite communication system in Ukraine, as reported by CBS News.

Tillis emphasized the need for 'guardrails and accountability' for private companies like SpaceX that operate in military and geopolitical spaces, according to his interview on 'Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.'

He acknowledged that SpaceX is a private company but highlighted the broader implications of its actions in sensitive areas such as military communications and international conflicts.

Tillis' comments add to a growing number of Republican lawmakers calling for oversight and regulation of private companies involved in critical communication infrastructure in conflict zones.
