That doesn't work. GPS is broadcast, not bidirectional communication, so preventing the satellites from seeing the GPS receiver does nothing: they're not looking to begin with.

What are you talking about? The jammers are on the ground. Just like receivers on the ground can be jammed with bad RF nearby, so can receivers in space. You just point the bad RF towards the receiver
The GPS satellites aren't receiving anything. The GPS satellites transmit signals, and the starlink terminals (and other users of GPS) receive those signals.
Wellll you could technically jam their uplink channels, but doing so may get the US in your doorstep quite quickly

Ok they said the GPS of the starlink satellites is being jammed, and the question was how. The comment I was replying to did not say the terminal, it said the satellite. Maybe that's the confusion
Maybe he's implying they're literally cancelling out the waves like ANC headphones but with emf and a large geographic area.
