Thanks to Starlink, a remote tribe in the Amazon was able to connect to the internet at last. However, elders now claim that social media and a pornography addiction have caused the tribe to fall apart.

Welcome to the modern world.

The introduction of the service nine months ago, which connected the isolated jungle hamlet along the Ituí River to the internet for the first time, has caused deep division among the 2,000-member Marubo tribe in Brazil.

The Marubo are a chaste tribe, who even frown upon kissing in public — but Alfredo Marubo (all Marubo use the same last name) said he is anxious that the arrival of the Starlink service, which delivers super-fast internet to far-flung corners of the planet, could upend standards of decorum.
