World Police take down Dark Web markets around the globe

[FireCat]

Police around the globe shut down dozens of underground cyber marketplaces that dealt in drugs, weapons and other illegal goods in a massive operation this week to disrupt criminals operating on the "Dark Web."

Police in 17 countries arrested at least 17 website administrators, vendors and cybercriminals as part of the operation that targeted cyber storefronts where vendors put illegal goods on display much like Amazon or eBay sell legal goods.

The sites hide from law enforcement on the "Dark Web" by using The Onion Router, or TOR, an underground computer network that relays cyber communications through at least three separate computers to disguise the Internet addresses of its users. Domain names for websites on the TOR network end with .onion.

Law enforcement agencies from Europe, the U.S. and Canada, working from Europol's coordination center in the Netherlands, seized the servers that hosted the illegal marketplaces and took control of more than 400 .onion domains. The marketplaces knocked offline include SR2, Hydra, RepAAA, Hidden Empire, Cloud Nine, Black Market and Cannabis Road, Pandora, Blue Sky and Golden Nugget, Europol said. Police dubbed the operation "Onymous," the antonym of anonymous.

Police also seized cash, bitcoin, drugs, gold and silver.

Criminals Freedom ? ^ Now they have such a hard time. Right?

Criminals Freedom ? ^ Now they have such a hard time. Right?

of course the police of the world would like to paint anyone who opposed them as criminals - it makes it much easier to control any population if they deem any sort of weapon illegal and seize it, right? and eliminating anonymity also helps keep a population under control, since then they know exactly who they need to "deal with".

Who told you they were criminals? The people who put them in jail?
Of course the police is never going to say they punished completely innocent people. History is written by winners, not by saints.

 

[FireCat]

Who told you they were criminals?

So, you support "theft" of gold, silver or any other precious metal and other freaky illegal goods been sold, by underground marketplaces?
Innocent people get addiction, cause of criminals? Innocent people get big loans they can't pay back to criminals.
They be dead meat. And you support it.
Poor criminals.

So you are saying you can not read?

 

[FireCat]

No. But you can't do that. ^

Firecat, if you were ill and needed a prescription against cancer, but some pharma company has a patent or something on it and you couldn't get yourself the meds, because it would mean bad business for the pharma company, would you access the Dark Web to get what you need to get rid of the cancer?

Between all the illegal things you can buy, don't you think that using it as a sort of last resort outweighs all the things "wrong" about it?

It is fucked up that the people running our country are millionaires and have control because they have money.... Everyone thinks the people that say shit about the government are crazy because that is what society has been brain washed to think. All your big news websites that you think are "legit" are just to distract you from what the big picture is. Yes they report some real news but it is all dramatized.

Money has been the reason cannabis is illegal from day 1 and continues till this day to be illegal federally.
The anti-weed commercials are usually paid for by alcohol companies.
We should be able to make our own medication especially if it grows out of the ground. How can we let them keep mother nature illegal?

These were people trying to save their lives or the lives of others, now granted they all were not using the dark web for this purpose surely but everyone gets punished not just the people selling stolen goods and such. I'm sorry IDGAF if it is illegal or not I am going to do what will better myself and my family before I do what I am told the "right" thing to do is.

 

[Varine]

Yeah, but... you don't have money, so no one cares WYGAF.

Dark Web to get what you need to get rid of the cancer?

For lowest price? Seriously, do you honestly think, they would sell " real cure" Not "fake" cancer cures?

What role does money play if it means an extended period of time on earth? That's not the point. The is point is, not everything illegal is automatically a harmful thing.

But most stuff are dangerous or less dangerous.... but still harmful !
Btw: If you get a placebo stuff, you can bet "the cost will be real" Just saying.

Well, you would be stupid, if you buy something from the underground market.
Hmm don't think you could sue them, If something terrible happens. Not even return it..
