It's man stuff
An indigenous tribe in the Amazon rainforest have developed an addiction to pornography, just months after being given high speed internet access thanks to Elon Musk’s
In recent months, she has returned to see how the villagers have adapted to life on the web, and shared images and videos of her experience on Instagram.While much of Reneau’s reports from her visits to the tribe have been positive and told of the benefits of the introduction of internet to the indigenous people, Alfredo Marubo, leader of a Marubo association of villages, has instead described much less desirable consequences.
Considering kissing in public was something that wasn’t done within the community previously, the new trends in overtly sexual behaviour could only be attributed to the exposure to graphic and explicit content online. “Young people have gotten lazy because of the internet,” she said, adding: “They’re learning the ways of the white people.”Tribe leaders, who have said that impact of the technology on routine in the village has been “detrimental”, have had to outline a set of rules limiting the hours during which the web could be accessed.
While the Marubo tribe is one of the more remote locations that Starlink has provided internet access to, there are several other communities around the Amazon basin that have had their culture disturbed by the interference of internet.
