I'd be totally un-shocked if the UK criminalized Starlink (over OSA or otherwise), in part because they've already criminalized it before, in some of their territories[0,1].

That barely got covered in the UK news, but if wealthy rural people (who don't have good wired or cellular internet) get told their Starlink is getting banned it will be much more newsworthy.
