How the mysterious dark net is going mainstream

There's a parallel Internet you may not have run across yet -- accessed by a special browser and home to a freewheeling collection of sites for everything from anonymous activism to illicit activities. Jamie Bartlett reports from the dark net.

A hidden world of encrypted sites, accessed by millions daily, is driving digital innovation and challenging how society thinks about privacy and freedom. On the dark net, user reviews determine trust and reputation, with 95 percent of 120,000 feedback posts ranking dealers five stars. This anonymous marketplace fuels both creative problem-solving and troubling new risks. As more mainstream groups join, the line between light and dark online spaces is blurring fast.
