Amazon tribe's Starlink internet access made kids 'lazy,' hooked on social media: report

Starlink satellite internet access has reached a remote tribe deep in the Amazon rainforest, and now elders say young people are "lazy" and hooked on social media and pornography. According to a report from The New York Times, members of the Marubo Indigenous tribe carried internet antennas into its remote villages about nine months ago.

"It changed the routine so much that it was detrimental," admitted one tribe member who spent decades in the outside world and pushed for internet access in his remote village. "In the village, if you don’t hunt, fish and plant, you don’t eat."Still, the same tribe members said they don't want to see the Internet disappear. Instead, tribal leaders have imposed limits on when the internet can be accessed.
