Israeli Tech has become the largest offerer in advertising offers for Starlink users in more than 100 countries. This is the result of the TrendAI study, cited by Reuters. Investigators suspected surveillance: the advertising company was unusually interested in subscribers in places where satellite communications are prohibited or restricted. A person can leave an operator controlled by local authorities, and then meet an observer in the advertising block of a regular application. The satellite changes its data transmission path. After the connection, the site still sells advertising space, and provides bidders with the information needed to select an audience. They can be collected even before the banner is displayed. In 2024, the US Federal Trade Commission filed a complaint against the Mobilewalla broker specifically for storing data from advertising requests, including lost transactions. Among them were precise location information. Changing the provider leaves this independent distribution of user information in action. Discover-tech was able to examine the scale of interest in more detail. The Financial Times cites Citizen Lab data: From March to June 2026, the company participated in 3.7 billion advertising bids and won 442 million. About 12% of the offers resulted in the purchase of a show. These are actions where you may encounter the same people again and again. Researchers link the company's platform to the profiling and targeting of espionage partners. Therefore, counting infected phones will leave the separate work of figuring out who exactly is worth attacking. Belonging to the Starlink network gives this choice a political meaning. In Yemen and South Sudan, researchers found a particularly high activity of buying advertisements. They compared the weak commercial explanation for these expenses with the interest in satellite subscriptions. With conventional communication limited, the satellite audience is renewed by people looking for independent access to the Internet. Advertising information can help establish their identity and movements.
