I had to laugh and laugh at the no-punches-pulled language introducing the darkweb site slur. Describing itself as wikileaks 2.0 and a place where disgruntled psychopaths working in the police, government and the military can anonymously sell such gems as:- * Trade secrets * Source code and design specifications * Salacious facts, evidence, photos and movies of people in the public eye * Evidence of political and police corruption, governmental corruption * Anything scandalous of interest to anybody capable of paying for it with bitcoins Operating for free via Tor (the dark web) - no commission and provided by some anarchist hackers and coders. Personally I think it is a rather jolly idea, but then I am perhaps one of the 5% of the population considered to be psychopathic... I suppose there will be some kind of ethical wrangle, based along the lines of but you cant let (terrorist group x) have access to (military organization y)s present battlefield plans - it will be CARNAGE. Etc. Correct - but I dont think that, on the balance of things this will be the meat in the media sandwich, here. Instead we can expect that pissed off underpaid people might just become whistle-blowers for money and do the rest of the info-un-enfranchised majority a colossal favour by revealing corruption at every level and letting the most of us therefore make an honest choice without fear of every level of corruption from lawyers to government cover-ups. And lets face it - the protectionist argument is one which can be leveled at anything; the internet, censorship, a free press and even the right to f*cking read and write itself. I think this is blazingly funny and that *you should too*...
