How the mysterious dark net is going mainstream | Jamie Bartlett

There’s a parallel Internet you may not have run across yet - accessed by a special browser and home to a freewheeling collection of sites for everything from anonymous activism to illicit activities. Jamie Bartlett reports from the dark net.

[@arianithaxha5247]

+aDotFromTheFuture TED is diverse that is why I even watch it. Why not just filter your taste, like when you see something you don't like, just move on. Don't make a big deal out of it by starting to insult different point of views, you like PC games and cars, I don't, but I still give it a chance because there might be something I'll like or at least I'll learn enough about it so when someone starts a conversation about those subjects I can giva an opinion on it.

[@aDotFromTheFuture]

Arianit Haxha TED: T = technology, E = entertainment, D = design. Now tell me, to which of those categories does feminism fall to? You're right, it doesn't fall to any of those, meaning that those kinds of talks don't belong here, which is why people get so frustrated with them (and also because they border around feminazism rather than feminism).

[@arianithaxha5247]

Exactly, E-ducation. Now lets see what education actually means. Education is the process of facilitating learning. Knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits of a group of people are transferred to other people, through storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, or research. Soo, those kind of talks you refer as feminazism,which I don't agree with because most of them aren't, do belong here.

[@aDotFromTheFuture]

Arianit Haxha Except that the E doesn't stand for education, it's entertainment like I said in my previous comment. Even their slogan is "Ideas worth spreading", which is a category feminism doesn't fall into. However, there is a channel called TED-ed, which is for educational videos and their slogan is "Lessons worth sharing", now that's a place I don't mind if they put their feminism talks into (although those videos are completely useless, and like I said, border on the lines of feminazism).

[@MrMigido]

The "dark net" is the Internet. What you are on now is the TINTERNET.. it is a manufactured platform that cannot survive without the Internet. The Tinterent is a fabrication of normalcy, controlled by cookies, walled gardens and passwords. Once you enter you are tethered to it by T&Cs. The Internet was given the moniker DARK NET, by the ABC Social platforms to deter users visiting it. Recap. WWW was invented by Tim Berners-lee. He gave it free to the world. The Internet does not need the WWW but the WWW cannot survive without the Internet.

[@undermoonlightglow]

+Random Schmid Thank you.

[@Friedeggonheadchan]

+Random Schmid You can't retrieve IP addresses via javascript only. The existing javascript methods use external services, which the TOR network obscures just like any other traffic. There are other identifiers that can be collected though, by which most of the time you can be uniquely identified. Sadly using the modern web without javascript isn't really feasible today.

[@raccoonavi]

Earlier this year, my parents went to a bed store and later that day, saw banner adverts for beds. The information collection done by huge corporations is nothing short of terrifying, and now a marketplace run by the people, for the people, with admittedly bad intentions, seems better than its legal alternatives which foresake your privacy.

[@BTsMusicChannel]

9:55 "The creation of functioning, competitive, anonymous markets where nobody knows who anybody else is, constantly at risk of being shut down by the authorities is a staggering achievement -- a phenomenal achievement. And its that kind of innovation that's why those on the fringes are often the harbingers of what is to come."

[@Trollificusv2]

The same phenomenon has been observed by people pirating s/w and finding the cracked copy is superior to the "always on/DRM-crippled" corp version.

Contrary to what most people believe, the availability of drugs does not increase or decrease consumption in any major degree. The demand for drugs is quite fixed and the demand is big enough to almost always be filled. Having dark sites like these will not increase drug consumption, but decrease street trade which is better in several ways (as mentioned in the video).

[@andremaines]

That’s not true. There are tons of people that want to do drugs but don’t want to break the law. Particularly the older to middle age crowd. Marijuana has become a lot more popular with them in legalized states because of the ease of access and not needing to know a drug dealer. Think of it in terms of video games. There are tons of hardcore gamers out there for sure. But there are also casual gamers who wouldn’t be gaming if the wii didn’t come out and make it easy for them. Legalized drugs attract the wii players of the drug world. It lowers the barrier to entry enough for them to try it when they wouldn’t if they had to go through a shady drug dealer or break the law to obtain it.

[@qwertyuiopzxcfgh]

@@andremaines It hasn't been legal long enough in the US states to use them as a meaningful example. If you want a real example, use the Netherlands. Weed has been legal (technically "gedoogd", meaning you won't be punished) there for decades. The big surprise is that a smaller percentage of the Dutch population smokes weed than of the US one. Only 8 percent of the Dutch population smokes weed annually, compared to 16.2% of the US population. (Source: www.unodc.org/wdr2016/en/maps-and-graphs.html) Personally, I think that making weed illegal makes it "cool" to smoke it. Of course, other factors could be easier access to alcohol (age 18 to buy instead of 21) etc, but the comparison still stands.

I wonder if once TOR becomes mainstream, someone will think of a method to track people down and do exactly the same things on TOR, as they did here. I don't know exactly how it works, but I have a feeling that if it becomes mainstream there'll also be less privacy.

[@Soletestament]

+Zuzanna Kosmala Tor isn't entirely secure. It has two major flaws. The first being a middle man attack. meaning any body running a node can be using a packet sniffer to capture the information passing through their node. Meaning you really shouldn't be using login credentials over tor unless absolutely necessary. Second governments/hackers can discover who you are via point to point monitoring. Meaning if you're suspected of something illegal they can find out where you're going by watching activity leaving your actual IP and correlating it with exiting traffic. Exactly how either of those methods work idk. But they're known flaws, meaning nobody with half a mind using tor is going to be using it to log into facebook. It's just a dumb idea.

[@4EverDubin]

+Soletestament Actaully it's methods will be far more difficult in the dark net than main web. Most of the hacks in Facebook is more social engineering than anything technical really. At least to gain information on the dark net you at least need some computer programming background.

[@busTedOaS]

+Soletestament Isn't a man-in-the-middle-attack a Problem for any Browser out there? Is f.e. Chrome fundamentally more secure in any way? Honest question.

[@Soletestament]

+~ShiftR0ck~ : Yea that's true. It wasn't my intention to suggest using Tor was worse than using a normal browser. Simply warning of it's limitations. Many people like to think Tor is compromised when in reality it isn't. Although you're far more likely to run afoul of a hacker while randomly surfing the darknet than you are the clear net.

[@Soletestament]

+busTedOaS : Yea it is a problem for all browsers. Sorry, I should clarify some. Tor is all about anonymity, meaning anything that can compromise that is a flaw. If you're not looking to remain anonymous you could download all the same plugins it uses for chrome and have all the same security benefits without the anonymity. The problem I'm mentioning is really one of probability. The deepweb and the darkweb are where a lot of bad actors frequent. It's like hiding in the crowd at a sleazy bar. Most probably are just there to mind their own business. But you're far MORE likely to run into someone who's trouble and wants to pick a fight then you would be if you were on the street. Anyone can set up a node and so it's important to be conscious of what you're doing and not go places that could give away your identity. I hope that clarifies things a little.

Reviews are 5/5 when the customer fears for their life, not when they're "king." They don't give a bad review to someone who could easily add a deadly ingredient, killing the bad reviewer, with no legal repercussion. It's the same reason Air BnB gets better reviews than hotels.

[@Trashbin513]

Thats the point of anonymity, also for both scenarios airbnb and darknet, for any product, the review comes after using the product

The progression from the time of this talk to the day I'm watching in May 2019 shows the speakers predictions have definitely progressed towards exactly what he forethought. Just think, if anyone was to have been intrigued enough by the presentation and perhaps was to purchase Bitcoin or Ethereum at the time back in 2015, they'd be sitting pretty nice right about now into the next 5-10 years to come... (May 2015 - BTC = $243 : May 2019 - BTC = $7900) (Aug 2015 - ETH = $1.25 : May 2019 = ETH = $255)

[@purebloodirishman9389]

What's a red room?

[@Foogi9000]

john doe Supposedly it’s a room where you can watch live torture, murder, etc, and give commands when you donate but if you actually tried to do that on Tor it would be unplayable. tl;dr it’s an urban legend.

[@takeadayofff]

Tor browser is coded so that it cannot reveal your internal IP address even if scripts are enabled. Overall, I can't believe how little is known/published about the Tor browser.

[@GlasNoir]

i nominate we hijack this post and make this the Little-Known Facts about Tor Browser thread my fact: if one were to reverse-engineer the Tor browser, you'd get the Rot Browser! kind of crazy, right!?!?

hey, maybe you can find a darknet site that sells combs?

[@JamesScottGuitar]

So what exactly does that mean if Facebook is on the dark net?

[@damianspence]

+JamesScottGuitar People in places like China where it is blocked can then use facebook.

[@JamesScottGuitar]

But doesn't that negate The Nature of The Dark Net?

[@NihongoWakannai]

+JamesScottGuitar if I'm understanding correctly, you could use facebook on tor with your real name and everything, then go buy some nukes and not be tracked. because although you have accessed your facebook account, anyone trying to follow you won't be able to trace back to who exactly accessed it, and therefore cannot link it to your nuke purchases.

[@BlankBrain]

Tor is compromised by observing the timing of packets going into and out of servers. Changing the protocol to randomly delay packets on servers could make this more difficult, but it would make for a lousy interactive experience.

Ry Sim the only way to shut down these sites is by raiding a centralized server, and then hacking into it. Absolutely impossible to destroy everyone of them.

This man presents this talk brilliantly. He had me laughing, and listening at the same time.

[@secondhandiions6281]

I can not even spell.

[@Trollificusv2]

lol. Yeah, that was pretty tight. He never overplayed the laughs, just enough pause to allow some catching up. And it was actually well-structured, solid explanation, clear exposition of developments, which all supported the conclusion about the growth of the dark net. Which I admit I clicked on because I thought it sounded pretty dubious. But no, I think he's right.

[@zeffery101]

I think its important to mention how slow tor browsers are as your IP address changes constantly. Like loading a page could take 5-10 minutes. Even a free VPN is too slow for me. Convenience > privacy for me
