# The EFF has condemned reports that the government is set to offer regulatory assurances to Elon Musk’s Starlink, saying this move is unconstitutional. The government is reportedly planning to offer Musk a workaround of local black ownership laws for his Starlink internet service to operate in South Africa. The EFF says they are not opposed to technology or global innovation, but will not allow unregulated, foreign-controlled infrastructure to operate outside the country’s democratic and legislative framework. It adds that Starlink represents a threat to local industry and national security.
