Citing the statements of six knowledgeable sources, the Reuters news agency reported that the experts of the cyber security company "TrendAI", a subsidiary of the company "Trend Micro", discovered that an Israeli advertising technology company called "Discover-Tech" widely contacted Starlink satellite Internet users associated with SpaceX with its digital advertisements for the possible purpose of advertising. Based on the telemetry data of these researchers, Discover-Tech has become one of the largest buyers of advertising for Starlink users and has taken first place in bidding for this service's traffic in more than 100 countries - including countries where the use of Starlink is prohibited or restricted. According to Reuters, the researchers concluded that these ads were likely used to determine the location (geo-location) or monitor users. SpaceX and Discover-Tech have not yet responded to requests for comment.
