Dark Web Mapping Reveals That Half of the Content Is Legal (helpnetsecurity.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Cyber threat intelligence firm Intelliagg and dark net indexing company Darksum have released the results of their efforts to map the dark web (actually, only the Tor network). They discovered that Tor network is much smaller than commonly thought, and that around 68% of the sites analyzed can be classified as illegal under UK and US law. In related news, a recent poll found that the vast majority of people want a ban on the dark net.

'Banning' the 'dark web'

[kheldan]

This 'vast majority' of people, like most non-technical people, don't understand how things actually work. You can't ban the so-called 'dark web' because you really can't identify where it is. Even making Tor illegal (yeah, and good luck with that, too) would only get rid of part of the Dark Web.

Okay wow! Thank you editors! The summary got changed and I appreciate that. Seemed like that never happened on old Slashdot.
