An indigenous Brazilian tribe has sued the New York Times over a report which claimed they had become addicted to porn after Elon Musk's Starlink system gave them high-speed internet access. When Starlink was afforded to the Marubo tribe, they quickly discovered the incredible benefits the newfound technology had to offer. One was from TMZ, who were also named in the lawsuit, which was accompanied by a video with the headline 'Elon Musk's Starlink Hookup Leaves A Remote Tribe Addicted To Porn'. The suit claims the video 'falsely framed the Marubo Tribe as having descended into moral collapse'. Starlink, an initiative launched by Musk under his company SpaceX, owns around 60% of the roughly 7,500 satellites orbiting Earth and is the dominant player in the internet satellite arena.
