One of the main goals of the project is to reach rural customers currently not served by ISP’s so I’m pretty sure at least some direct-to-the-consumer service is planned.

Elons network will be download only, I’m not sure we will all be up linking to a sattelite. He will need to partner with telecom firms to accept requests, forward the requests to some uplink point, figure out approximate area where the request was made and then beam the content down at that spot. Correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t see any other way of implementing this.
The Satellites are low orbit and the antenna for upload is small, smaller than for a sat phone probably. But if ground based then bigger to make it cheaper

Encrypted dapp ‘whatsat’ messenger service works on lightning network. Cools proof of concept, and its great the masses are being prepped for dapps.
If you read the article, you will find that although they have managed to send a message, the blockchain based tech is creaking… and they would like miners to lower their fees to allow dapps on the network. 
SAFENetwork, I can wait for release… it will be loved.

Do you mean the video in the previous post?
Screenshot:
I’m on an huwai p30 pro, I’m able to view this video on a Chinese spy phone.
Edit: I told a lie. I hit play. And bang… I assumed being able to see the play button meant I could watch it.
This is what I see.
So what is happening in Hong Kong
Not playing on Sony, Samsung, Huwawi.
Not playing in UK, Russia or the Netherlands either. No one else in my network wants to try, especialy anyone in Hong Kong.
I am able to play all other videos in the youtube app. Interesting. This wouldn’t happen on Safenet, feels like some political pressure has been applied. I really want to see the content now.

Hikvision Markets Uyghur Ethnicity Analytics, Now Covers Up.
Hopefully the Uygurs also get help from the CIA, but I fear (for the Uygurs) that is not the case.
Now, all of a sudden, it started working for Brave on Linux with VPN through Sweden.

Stroustrup continued saying: “When you build a tool, you do not know how it’s going to be used. You try to improve the tool by looking at how it’s being used and when people cut their fingers off to try and stop that from happening, but really, you have no control over how something is used.”

That’s probably not good enough either unless you make your own processors
