As a child in the ’90s I was fascinated by the internet. That tiny browser window in a flashing CRT display became a portal to an exciting world. Not much later, in the early 2000s I realized that the online land of possibilities has another side. The hidden part of the internet is protected by a chain of relays and a tool that is specially developed to reach this area. No ordinary web browser can surf this web, nor the search engines like Google can index and show them in search results. The Tor hidden services was all over in the news in the 2010s because of its dark and lawless side. The Silk Road was taken down by the authorities in October 2013. Ross Ulbricht, the alleged founder and operator of the Silk Road, was arrested and later convicted on multiple charges. The case drew significant attention due to its connection to the dark web and the use of cryptocurrency (particularly Bitcoin) for transactions on the platform. The hidden services and the onion routing was developed for a very different purpose: to help people stay anonymous from governments, dictatorship and to help whistleblowers, journalists and the free speech.
