Elon Musk's Starlink satellite-internet service has connected the Marubo, an isolated Amazon tribe in Brazil, to the outside world. Since gaining internet access in September, the 2,000-strong tribe has experienced significant changes, both positive and negative. While the internet has provided new opportunities for communication and information, it has also introduced challenges such as addiction to social media, pornography, and violent video games. Additionally, the tribe faces issues like online scams, misinformation, and concerns about the potential loss of cultural identity. The arrival of the internet has sparked a divide within the community, with some members embracing the new technology while others worry about its impact on their traditional way of life. Jack Nicas, the New York Times Brazil bureau chief, reported on the tribe's transformation after nine months of internet access.
