Meanwhile the airlines rolling out "free Starlink WiFi" without so much as an asterix about who provides and controls the bits you're sending through it.

Imagine how much data musk will be able to glean getting free access to travelers internet habits and probably a lot more.

    I think most of the data going to and from your phone is gonna be https, I doubt it would provide much value tbh

    Unfortunately there's still plenty of unencrypted traffic from normal usage (e.g. DoH is still fairly rare).

    I mean, I guess you can get a list of domain names accessed, but accessible data is still quite limited imo.

    Don't get me wrong, I'd rather avoid it entirely or use a VPN if I'm on such a network if I must.
