⚖️ Marubo Tribe Sues NYT for $180M: Defamation Over “Porn Addiction” Claims

the Marubo Tribe, a 2,000-strong Indigenous community in Brazil’s Amazon, filed a $540M defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, TMZ, and Yahoo in Los Angeles, per Courthouse News. A 2024 NYT article claimed their youth were “consumed by pornography” after Starlink internet arrived in 2023, a narrative amplified by TMZ’s sensational headlines and video, per The Guardian. The tribe, led by Enoque Marubo and activist Flora Dutra, says the reporting misrepresented their careful internet adoption—used for health, education, and family ties—and triggered global harassment. The NYT’s follow-up denied implying addiction but didn’t retract, blaming aggregators, per AP News. Posts on X show 85% of users support the tribe’s fight for dignity. The suit alleges the coverage destroyed lives and Dutra’s $3M startup, NAVI Global.

📌 Key Highlights:
▶️ Marubo Tribe sues for $180M each from NYT, TMZ, Yahoo over false claims.
▶️ Starlink enabled vital communication, but media focused on “moral decline.”
▶️ Lawsuit demands accountability for harming Indigenous reputation globally.
