Drugs Dominate the Darknet

New Report

Darknet. Sounds scary, and it kind of is. While this area of the web is also used by those conscious of privacy rights such as whistleblowers, the darknet also plays host to the seedier and sometimes outright illegal elements of society. When it comes to 'shopping', drugs are the dominating force behind this particular kind of e-commerce. As shown in the newly released United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime 'World Drug Report 2018', 62 percent of active listings on a selection of darknet marketplaces were drug-related - 48 percent coming under the illicit drugs category.
