I am pretty sure we are slowly but surely heading towards a point where every country will implement its own great firewall and block every website except those in a whitelist approved by the government.

They're not going to suddenly become competent enough to implement something like that.

Could they compel Starlink to not offer service there?

I don't know, is it easy for chinese residents to subscribe and pay invoices for a Starlink connection?

The mechanism for China to compel Starlink to not operate there seems more clear: the leader decides to block all direct and indirect business activities in China, related to Elon Musk.

Is that comparable, for the UK? Maybe other EU members would agree?

As an American, I have trouble comprehending multiple governments colluding to enable mass government censorship, and expecting to stay in power. But, I know nothing of the European mindset.
