Elon Musk's satellite network connects people around the world with more than 5,000 satellites. Recently, it also began connecting an indigenous tribe that previously lived largely isolated in the Amazon region.

The Marubo tribe has since struggled with the same problems as Western societies: teenagers stuck on their phones, chats full of gossip, addictive social networks, violent video games, fraud, misinformation and minors watching pornography.

Victor Moriyama/The New York Times/Redux/laif traveled deep into the Amazon to visit Marubo villages and understand what happens when a small, closed-off civilization suddenly opens up to the world.
