After Paris, ISIS Moves Propaganda Machine To Darknet (csoonline.com)
itwbennett writes: Over the weekend, researcher Scot Terban came across the new website of Al-Hayat Media Center, the media division of Daesh (aka ISIS/ISIL), in a post on Shamikh forum (a known jihadi bulletin board), 'someone had posted the new address and instructions for reaching it,' writes CSO's Steve Ragan. The website hosts the usual anti-Western iconography, as well as songs (Nasheeds) and poems for mujahids in various locations. Terban has mirrored the website and its files; he says he plans to publish more details in the coming days. 'Over the years, there have been several claims made that Daesh had propaganda and recruitment hubs on the Darknet, but no one has ever published proof of those claims or explored how the propaganda machine operates in public,' says Ragan.

Your hair look like poop, Bob! - Wanker.
I am certain the murdered people's family and friends in Paris would disagree with your assessment as "manufactured". Are some facts being obscured/convoluted? Possibly, but the threat, in whatever form the media gives it, seems quite real.
Expected range of violence. No one in the US bats an eye at the Chicago inner city murder rate, but if a single bullet is fired in the prosperous parts of the same city it'll be national news.
No one in "the west" wants to actively take sides in yet another round of the same tribal warfare that's been going on since before the last time the tribal warfare burnt down all the libraries in their reach. But when one of the tribes decides to attack outside their little sandbox, it's noticed.
I'm not defending this, I think the selective outrage is reprehensible, but it can be useful to understand. The public opinion is not concerned with the actual levels of violence, only about changes in the level of violence. Anything you've apparently been able to live through is considered tolerable as it is, but if things get worse, that's a time for panic.
I think it's just a term used by morons that don't know how the Internet works.
It could mean any or all of the following:
- Sites that aren't Facebook, Twitter, Google, or YouTube, and therefore, aren't as visible.
- Sites that don't get indexed on Google and therefore aren't as visible.
- Sites that don't have a DNS name and therefore aren't as visible.
- Geo-shitties sites with a black background. It's DARK on the DARKnet. Duh.
So basically, sites that aren't easily found by the masses. That's "the darknet" or "the dark web" or whatever some dumbass wants to call it.
There has been quite a bit published in the news about people being killed in Syria and Iraq. I don't know what news you are reading, but I have seen it all over Fox, CNN, and BBC.
Here is the reports of the Kurds retaking Sinjar for the Yazidi people who were attacked by ISIS:

Kobani was all over the news, how did you miss it?

This story has been all over the news, of course there are things that we in the west miss out on, and some of that is due to the violence of war itself, not all the news actually get out.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
The other side is facing away at all times and is permanently in shadow.

Hi,
Click Ctrl riight-shift alt D on your keyboard.
A popup will appear asking you to confirm that you want to enter the dark-net.
Click OK. You are now on the darknet. It is like a second kind of Internet. This functionality is not publicized to much and more or less kept secret to protect the children.
P.S. You need recent browser and OS versions in order to access it since the TCP stack had to be adapted for the darknet. It uses a special bit in the TCP header.
Everything I write is lies, read between the lines.
