    Ep. 1: The Birth of The Dark Web
    Feb 8 2018

    [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? 

    Geoff White, Channel 4 News's former Technology Reporter, has been looking into its shady origins and reveals why the U.S. Navy invented it in the first place.

    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.

interesting

I work in online payments and part of my job is to monitor threats etc so I'm aware of most of what this series discusses. Notwithstanding, it's a well researched and well produced story, laying out the issues in a layperson-friendly way.

A good read overall

I liked this series overall, a good dive into the genesis of the dark web, and how its misuse is linked to crypto currency. it leaves you with the observation, that new technology is often used by criminal elements in society, before it comes into
legitimate use by society in general.

Everyone should know about this

Very interesting series about the alternative net. The net is a large part of my life, yet I knew little about the dark net until now. Very thought provoking...

Interesting insight into the dark web

I enjoyed the listen however it was some times distracting by background noise.
I would be interesting to see how things have developed over the past few years and over the pandemic period .
