A Remote Tribe in Brazil Gains Internet Access through Starlink
A remote tribe in Brazil deep in the Amazon rainforest was given access to the internet for the first time ever thanks to Elon Musk’s satellite-internet service Starlink.
Challenges Faced by the Tribe
According to Metro, the tribe’s leaders have already implemented restrictions on internet usage due to some unexpected consequences.
- Internet time is limited to two hours in the morning, five hours at night, and all day on Sunday.
- Some tribespeople have accessed inappropriate content.
- Group chats have led to gossip among tribe members.
- They have encountered abusive online strangers.
- People are spending excessive time watching sports, violent videos, and adult content.
Positive Impacts of Internet Access
Despite the challenges, the Marubo tribe benefits greatly from having internet access:
- They can now contact loved ones living far away.
- They have access to educational opportunities.
- They can share their way of life with others.
- Internet access has saved some members’ lives in emergency situations.
A tribe elder reportedly said, “I think the internet will bring us much more benefit than harm… at least for now.”
