TASS, March 5. The Starlink satellite communication system will not block Russian media, US entrepreneur and business magnate Elon Musk vowed on Saturday.

"Starlink 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," Elon Musk wrote on Twitter.

The Starlink system is designed to provide Internet access to users around the world by deploying a large number of small vehicles (weighing up to 500 kg) in near-Earth orbit.
