Starlink, a satellite internet constellation, initiated by Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, aimed to provide internet access to a tribal community in Amazon, but ended up getting them hooked to social media and pornography addiction. The primary aim of this initiative was to connect the 2,000-member Marubo community, along the Ituí River in Brazil to the web, but took a downward turn when they started getting addicted to the reels and pornography online.  “When it arrived, everyone was happy,” Tsainama Marubo, 73, told The New York Times. “But now, things have gotten worse. Young people have gotten lazy because of the internet and are learning the ways of the white people.”
