A lot of the Starlink and other contraband uplinks are using ipv6, allowing connectivity for people the regime doesn't want to have contact with the rest of the world. They don't want the revolution broadcast or popularized.
I wouldn't think blocking terrestrial IPv6 links would have anything to do with blocking Starlink.
Since starlink supports v6, starlink users can p2p communicate with other v6 users. Both starlink and local carriers don't provide proper legacy connectivity, they are encumbered by cgnat so p2p does not work. Without p2p communications, users are forced into a client-server model and it's much easier to block a small number of servers rather than millions of potential peers.
