Evidently SpaceX snuck a little bit of Martian Independence into the Terms of Service clauses of the Starlink contract.
9. Governing Law.
For Services provided to, on, or in orbit around the planet Earth or the Moon, these Terms and any disputes between us arising out of or related to these Terms, including disputes regarding arbitrability (“Disputes”) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California in the United States. For Services provided on Mars, or in transit to Mars via Starship or other colonization spacecraft, the parties recognize Mars as a free planet and that no Earth-based government has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities. Accordingly, Disputes will be settled through self-governing principles, established in good faith, at the time of Martian settlement.

The pre-assumption was that there is no indigenous population.
But bring plenty of blankets and beads and cheap knives just in case.

I am the great-grandson of Dejah Thoris and John Carter. They were just here for brats and beer this past weekend.

The smallpox was in the blankets back then, wasn't it? I've heard (true or not) that was the first germ warfare.

That has been disproven as A) not happening as the virus couldn't be spread that way and B) they didn't know enough about the virus to intentionally spread it that way at that time.
