- The good on the dark web is balanced by the bad, and both are useful. How does either impact you, and what role might the dark web play in your life in the future? Examples will include illicit online markets, safe havens for dissidents, first-hand incident response to hackers, and secure email systems for freedom fighters. Together we will walk from life before the internet through today and into the future to better understand what the dark web means to each of us.
Aaron Warner educates and empowers people to be the driving force behind cybersecurity, so we can all safely enjoy more of our lives. Backed by decades of global IT and cybersecurity expertise, Aaron applies real-world experience and humorous perspective to guide audiences through the latest risks and remedies as well as bridge the gap between technical and business minds. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Educational talk show like this help the public. Congratulations to Davenport!
This was a great talk ! To be honest I didn't really consider that there could be pros to the dark web, until you brought them up.
There's a lot of misinformation about the dark web and unfortunately this video doesn't do a good job at explaining that
@@jacksoncremean1664: There are only eight minutes to talk - it's an incredible challenge. You're spot on, the DW has a variety of layers and the public isn't well-appraised at all. Just trying to do my part - it's not as simple as good or bad. :)
There's info on wholesome use-cases to the darkweb in my about page if anyone feels like reading.

My opinion on the drug-trade on Darknet, it's a good thing. It's replacing dodgy meetings on street corners, robberies, scams, violence and the general social problems that come with people who deal in drugs with customer service, reputations, ratings etc. If a darknet seller wants to make money then they have to offer the best service, or people will find out from the feedback and go elsewhere. It's making the drug trade actually civilised.
That is the smartest thing to do with drug trafficking, the system is not to avoid what people want to do with their lives, the idea of a system should be to avoid as many risks as possible.
I just have trust issues with Scammers! being around every corner
I think drugs ought to be legalized, regulated, and taxed, as per a harm reduction framework.
(In the war on drugs, drugs have the victory. Time to surrender.)
But what’s to stop scammers just setting up new profiles?
Will buyers really avoid sites without references?
Esp if scammers offer cheaper prices? (Desperate people will buy cheapest cost, regardless)
And if you do get ripped off, there is no-one to complain to.
I’d far prefer drugs were made legal and controlled to guarantee quality, reduce cost, and be able to offer proactive help to people with addiction.
Users need HELP not incarcerating.
@@grmpEqweer Well Portugal did it and the crime rate shot down (no pun intended) addicts were no longer afraid to ask for their drugs in a regulated, controlled, safe way. Acquiring drugs usually involves criminal activity until then, so they would avoid help.
I'm still waiting for upfront society to help "worthless" people in society to find love. I want to see that somewhere. There's no such thing even on the dark web. People on dating sites are only looking for primo top shelf partners. I know because I've languished on dating sites for nearly 15 years. Still, it's ridiculous to think that there's no one out there for me.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thanks! The simplicity of the TED talk is deceiving. Despite working in the industry for years, this took me an incredible amount of work to pull together.
@@aaronwarner1752 I can imagine it did. It came off extremely well, though. Actually, I have often wondered why they couldn’t just shut the dark web down. You made very good points that I hadn’t considered. Besides, I think that if they're determined, they’d just find another way anyway. Thanks again for the talk.
Unpopular opinion; the internet should not be regulated any government, merely the ease of indexing to specific hosts should be considered, but other than that; it should be as open as possible
Used to be the popular opinion.....
Good job
The question itself is flawed. It assumes the internet is some centrally administered thing, that some individual or organised group of individuals could simply decide to switch off one day.
Isn't it ?
Considering how much of the internet runs off of Amazon servers... It's pretty close.
@@Guru_1092 it's not even close, there are plenty of major hosting providers such as Microsoft Azure, Linode, Digital Ocean and Vultr and that's not even taking into account on prem hosting which is required for certain use cases.
You know you spend to much time on booktok when this is the wrong *Aaron Warner*

My guy... this isnt high school tech, this is dark web. Too big to fail-.
@@Dimitris_Balf Bitcoin as a project has not failed.
@@Dimitris_Balf well thought out rebuttal!
@@Dimitris_Balf it still can't be regulated..
@@Dimitris_Balf eh. Idk I'm neutral. I'm definitely not a BTC maxi there are a billion flaws to BTC.
But at least it doesn't let the big banks recklessly speculate with our money.
This is still disturbing though.
good luck trying to
2 Trillion!!
I've never used it, still!
Why not just get rid of the interstate highway system?
Brilliant 💯
The argument that we should make it safer for individuals to take part in activities which have no social good, but result in massive individual AND social harm because there will be some proportion of undividuals who will do them anyway... Im not sure thats a powerful argument when you zoom out.
Humanity has always been using some kinds of sedatives throughout history if you were said different you were lied to. Human individuals go through a lot of difficulties in their life and in some tough moments having medicated is the only coping mechanism to not kill themselves. As a society at least we can help to do it the safest way. Because even heavy drug abusers get over most of their issues. The problem is in bureaucratic hypocrisy not in drug use.
The very first time I ever hack a computer is when I was playing Mario bro’s I got all those unlimited lives on the stairs hitting the freaking turtle
RIP alphabay
I have found the dark web to be very un user-friendly!
Skill issue
You found the dark web? I've never found it. But then again, I've never actually looked for it.
It’s above my ability
Omg.. Aaron Warner?
He’s even blond

You just picked the bad examples. Didn’t the 1st South Park get shared and distributed on what you call the “dark web” . Napster was great and open source is important to support. I think you just wish all the control be held in the hand of the “authorities”. Which is bad. We don’t need to empower a centralized authority over all of us.
Exactly that's what I say, no matter who is this authority, as long as it's human, you can't trust it, you can't put your freedom between the hands of a centralized authority!
Napster wasn't the dark web. It was an unencrypted p2p network.
@@musicplus6306 Of course we need to focus on the negatives. You cannot just brush off the crimes enabled by the dark web. Everyone knows the positives, and he did mention them. Because of the positives, we have a system that we have. However, we have to actually start weighing the positives and the negatives, and try to determine what kind of a place we want internet to be. Will it be a place outside of law (which is ultimately made for keeping a functioning society and to protect the rights of individuals) or not? It is not an easy question.
@@Nickname006 There are no crimes enabled by the darkweb. They will continue to happen even if it didn't exist. Criminals already have methods to gain better anonymity. The darkweb is maximally useful to the innocent. More info on that can be found in my about page.
@@Nickname006 From the many convos I've had, I would say few understand the positives. Most truly view the darkweb to be this dangerous place almost entirely or only used by criminals, not grasping that it's actually the safer internet.
Probably because...... You can't. 🕯️🤘🕯️
What 2T$
the Web is dark.
With complete free speech you take the good with the bad
Very true.
Before watching, I would say that you can't just get rid of the dark web, because you'd have to re-invent how the internet works to begin with; the dark web isn't even the web in the sense of the world wide web, and a website itself in one sense is kinda like just a poster on a wall whereas removing the poster advertising a concert doesn't stop the concert from happening.
The first one
TOR... that's my tax dollars at work...😐
Then your money is being put to good use!
@@erindeerhart5538
And bad. Child p••n and information on dictatorships.😐
@@grmpEqweer And the NSA.
@@erindeerhart5538
Which is _also_ both good and evil.
(a hi to my government observers, I've been behaving)
A lot of the gruntwork the NSA does, and how NSA workers start, is working on child trafficking and child exploitation.
They have to look at the images. Thousands of them, often to try and find identifying items in the photos and videos.
I understand depression and su•cide is a big issue.
The NSA also tracks extremist groups. If they're anything like the FBI, they're going to insure lefty types have trouble. Far right? Not so much.
As far as data mining everyone? Private corporations do that _more thoroughly._ They will sell data to any government agency, and that's admissible in court.
So the government usually will buy cellphone tracking data if it needs a particular phone's location in time.
@@grmpEqweer At the very least, you know what you're talking about. Most people don't. ;)
why does he gets a platform???? so oversimplified. getting too commercial this ted
Do you think he couldn't make it more complex? Of course he can. As a professional, he is making his presentation suitable for his expected audience.
a lot of these people in the replies are his sycophant employees
*I’m so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever.
I’m a single mother living in Melbourne Australia, bought my second house in September
and hoping to retire next year at 50 if things keep going smoothly for me.
Sorry for late reply sweetie, I used the FIRE movement to put my finances in order.
Then lnvested in stocks, cryptocurencies and reaI estates though the assistance
of an lnvestment Pro who helped me make it this big
I will forever be indebted to you?? Mrs Valentina ????you’ve changed my whole life I’ll
continue to preach about your name for the world to hear you’ve saved me from a huge
financial debt with just little investment thanks so much Mrs Valentina Gabriel..
this is not the first time I am hearing of her and her exploits in the trading world
but i had no idea on how to reach her, i have already lost enough of money since my
retirement on binance trying to do it myself???
I'm a beginner. How can i get her assistance?

Is the dark web just the old internet we all use to surf in 1995. If so shame on you for even thinking of “taking it down”.
No, it's not.
That is deep web. Dark web refers to the dark stuff.
@@Nickname006 Darkweb refers to websites hosted in darknets; overlay networks on the internet that require specific software to access.
Facebook and Twitter run onion sites, websites inside the Tor network that require the Tor client to access.
Has nothing to do with "dark stuff".

Tor created by NSA???!
Hahahahah in your face. Life’s is irony right yankees?
