Journalists: please write about how dangerous this is.

Lawyers (especially if you're based in the US): please help fight this, it will take legal action now

@sundogplanets guess we will have to shoot it down.

@sundogplanets "we don't regulate the mirror so we are ok with it."

Then why do you allow it?

@sundogplanets they have got to be shitting us with this

@sundogplanets

UN is going to have to get involved - but U.S. will just veto it and do it anyway... 🤬

If this isn't going to be geosync... then this will affect other countries as it orbits.

If it is geosync - then we can hope the reflection won't be powerful enough to make additional units be not cost effective.

If it continues - hope they provide blackout curtains for the world!

@sundogplanets how in the world is the FCC the organization that approves such an abomination?

@sundogplanets insert every curse word, in every language 😤

@sundogplanets I am beyond baffled at this decision.

@sundogplanets Wow, this is a truly terrible idea

@sundogplanets

Our world is a billionaire pedophile's toilet.

@sundogplanets 😡
