    [Contains explicit content] It's called the Dark Web, Dark Net or Deep Web but what is it? What makes this internet underground — rife with drugs, sex, and crime — possible? How do you even access the Dark Web?

    Ep. 2: The Untold Story of The Dark Web
    Feb 8 2018

    [Contains explicit content] The Dark Web's first success story was a drugs 'eBay.' Vendors sold narcotics and pharmaceuticals directly to each other freely and anonymously. Then the FBI shut it down and unmasked its owner, Ross Ulbricht. The sting operation was ridiculous.

    Geoff White, Channel 4 News's former Technology Reporter, speaks with a key player at the heart of the takedown. His story is astonishing.

Episode-chapter structure is not ideal

Honestly what irked me was the structure of having multiple episodes with 1 chapter meaning audible doesn't automatically start the next part which is frustrating when you are driving and can't change to the next episode.

I really enjoyed this series.

I knew of the dark web but I had no idea but it was a US military creation.

Incredibly eye opening!

The author pulls off the cloak of opinions developed by the public media and reveals the true nature and future of the dark web as it relates to the common or sophisticated man alike. Very good book!

Insightful, interesting, nicely portrayed.

A nicely planned book covering so many different aspects of the dark web. All i'd heard about the dark web was that it sold drugs and guns but there's a lot more to it.

Very interesting

I thought this was a great and fascinating series. It covered the basics of how and why it was created as well as many of its unfortunate uses today.
