FBI ran website sharing thousands of child porn images

[God of Mr. Hanky]

Do you folks realize, we're talking about the Darknet here? Not some place the common user stumbles upon, but which uses a special gateway called Thor, which bounces connections from user to user to cover their tracks. It's the place to hire hitmen, to plan heists and to set in motion all kinds of criminal endeavours.

It's in the article on page one. The one, nobody seems to have read. It just so happens I know a little bit more about it, since the paper I work for ran a series of articles on it. We ran a couple of supervised experiments on what you can order there. And it doesn't even stop at nuclear material.

So, this site we are talking of, never was in the public domain, but in a totally remote area of the internet, only accessible if you know someone pointing you there.

Also, TOR doesn't gain you access to anything which an ordinary browser won't, so LOL, the "Darknet" is a myth! There have been non-web exchanges which pre-dated http://www, but the only thing which stops anyone from accessing anything online is knowing how to use the web, usenet, or whatever, and a password-protected firewall.
