Secluded Baduy Dalam shuns money, technology and formal education and now wants to protect the morals of its younger generation from the web
Four hours’ drive from the hustle and bustle of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, lies the secluded community of Baduy Dalam, where the trapping of modern life are shunned. The Baduy Dalam people reject money, technology and formal education, and limits tourists – banning any visitors from documenting their life. Now the tribe wants to go one step further, by cutting off the internet.
Officials in Indonesia are considering a request from the group for an internet blackout, after they cited concerns over negative impacts on tribe members.
