The Dark Net was created for anonymity, and criminals took immediate advantage of it. In 2017, the Russian Anonymous MarketPlace, a shady drug-dealing site, had 14,000 active users. After its shutdown it was replaced with a more advanced system of automated shops. Requiring no personal communication with a dealer or a courier, it is used by millions. For now, police can’t curtail these trade platforms and their distribution network. Disturbingly, many teenagers were pulled into drug trading as ‘drop men’ — individuals who stash drugs for addicts to collect all over the city. These days, cheap synthetic dope, affordable even to school kids, is the Dark Net’s drug of choice. Is there an effective way to resist the Deep Web drug distribution network on the streets?
