A remote Brazilian tribe called the Marubo has faced some interesting challenges since getting satellite internet from Elon Musk’s Starlink service nine months ago.
The 2-thousand-member tribe, living in the Amazon, received 20 antennas connecting them to the internet. However, the gift has caused many younger tribesmen to become addicted to social media and porn.
And like any parents, tribe leaders say they almost immediately had to institute time limits, or NOTHING would get done. One elder said, "In the village, if you don't hunt, fish, and plant, you don't eat."
For starters, they've restricted internet access to: Two hours in the morning, five at night, and all day on Sunday.
The tribe says they're already dealing with: Group chats full of gossip . . . addictive social networks . . . abusive online strangers . . . hours and hours of sports streaming . . . violent video games . . . scams . . . misinformation . . . and minors watching pornography. Video below.
