What would you do?
What if you run a tourist resort in a nature reserve where you can't rely on local internet providers, so you have a subscription to Starlink with access to the internet 100 percent of the time? Would you unsubscribe to do the morally just thing or decide to keep always providing your guests with internet anyway?
What if you're a tourist in such a resort and notice the owner has a subscription to Starlink? Would you decide not to return ever again because of that or would you be thankful for the guaranteed internet connection?

I would definitely unsubscribe to #Starlink and rather read a book, news paper of magazine. I would return to the resort however. I can't blame a person for being ignorant (or can I?). BTW, same goes for #Tesla. I would never ever want to own a Tesla for several reasons but I wouldn't refuse a lift with a Tesla if it was offered to me.

Did you mean to say you would encourage your guests to read a book or magazine?
As a guest, you can ask the owner why he has the subscription, enlighten him in case he's ignorant, and blame him for being immoral.
I can't smile at people in the streets with big Primark bags because I know full well they are arseholes. Seeing them makes me sad and grumpy. Likewise, spending a whole holiday in the vicinity of an arsehole is not my cup of tea. You won't find me helping to sustain one, unless maybe there is no other way to stay in a unique place where I feel I need to be. Although... come to think of it, an owner with a monopoly doesn't need Starlink to compete and must therefore be the kind of utter jerk I really can't stand.
I might not mind a lift in a very old Tesla, one that was bought before Elon M. put his arseholeship on full display, but I don't want to be in a car with the kind of arsehole that sponsored him aware of his true colours.
All in all, I must admit we live in a difficult time to read a moral compass.
