Caitlin Duwey: The Dark Web
The article written by Caitlin Dewey in the Washington Post describes what the dark web contains and how the users and sites are anonymous using browsers like Tor. Using the browser to exchange, music, and illegal pornography even to advertise the torture of someone to be viewed as the act occurs is available but proof of such activity is nonexistent. Examination of the servers, web sites does not allow for verification that the darkest activities occur, just an urban legend Ms. Dewey

    Explain how the Internet has aided criminal activity. The internet has aided criminal activity by communicating with each other without having to be near, as well as fraud and identity theft. The rise of the Internet over the last decade has paralleled some of the greatest milestones in communications history. Along with such great strides in bringing the world together, the frightening aspect of accessing information and propaganda that tests the very limits of the U.S. Constitution has arrived. Above all, the Internet is used to commit against persons that include various crimes like transmission of child-pornography, harassment of any one with the use of a computer such as e-mail. The trafficking, distribution, posting, and dissemination of obscene material including pornography and indecent exposure, constitutes one of the most important criminal activity known today. With just a few keystrokes, an individual can have access to all forms of personal information, bomb-making instructions, and poison recipes; and a plethora of extremist ideologies expressing everything from radical religious cults to clandestine organized crime groups.…

    Today the internet has completely changed the way people communicate with each other. It has changed the people conduct commerce, changed the way people research topics, the way people entertain and the way people break the law (Schmalleger, 2011, p. 70). Many of the crimes that are committed on the internet include: prostitution, drug sales, theft, fraud, conspiracy, bullying, and harassment. As the internet becoming more and more of a dominator factor in how society is driven so has these crimes. Kids are being bullied and harassed by their peers to the point that they are committing suicide. Stopping these acts are hard because it’s very difficult tracking everyone in America’s computer and it’s illegal without the correct warrant and process to monitor someone’s actions. The more that the internet becomes an everyday use for everyday America the more is going to be taken advantage of and break the law.

It’s going to be on the government and us to see how this outcome turns…

    Watching videos, seeing pictures, and hearing audio of vicious cold blooded war that 's going on around is getting us no where. The progress of wars and fighting proves that most effective revolutions occur when there is minimal yet any bloodshed or violence takes place. Political, economical, and social aspects of countries configure down to the basis of this reasoning. If cruel violence, innocent death, and undeservedly bloodshed did not effect any then by all means go for it but in all cases that does not apply.
