Someone had to have signed off on a mission assurance spec waiver if they're leaking a lot of EMI. If they didn't check with the FCC on this they might be in big trouble. Who am I kidding? This was probably done with their blessing.

Does the FCC have jurisdiction over space? Does anyone?

Multiple countries claim jurisdiction over their LEO area, especially for launching stuff from their country.

Currently, there are no regulations that address the leakage of unintended electromagnetic radiation from constellation satellites.
