Spacex suspends Starlink users in unauthorized locations

Spacex has begun preparations to shut down Starlink users located outside the service's official availability zones. That's what British PC Mag writes.

Starlink equipment (often sold in neighboring countries) has begun to be used in countries such as Zimbabwe and South Africa, where the Starlink service has not yet been launched. The users use the roaming function of the service in a way that is not allowed.

Spacex has now sent out emails to users stating that it violates the terms of the service to use Starlink in places where the service has not been launched. Users on such sites will be banned starting April 30.

Snapchat starts watermarking AI-generated photos

Any image created using any of Snapchat's AI tools will be watermarked when exported or saved to the user's camera roll. This is evident from an update on a support page, writes Techcrunch.

Snapchat also points out that removing the watermark is against the service's terms and conditions.

Several tech giants – including Microsoft, Google and Meta – have already taken similar steps when it comes to images created with their AI tools.
