Naturally, he's looking very dark, but also familiar...
Which IRONICALLY, is the OPPOSITE of the DARK WEB.
What is the DARK WEB?
Let me start by saying what it isn't...
It ISN'T Amazon...
It ISN'T Ebay...
It ISN'T Anything you visit normally... unless you're REALLY bad with a search engine... (since it'll never show up on there) or a career criminal...
The life of the INTERNET is actually similar to that of Anakin Skywalker...
Long ago it was young, simple and obnoxious...it grew up, became lovable, and more and more useful...
The Dark side grew in both, until they were largely consumed by "evil."
But how does it work? Well, it works much like the "light" web, but with a noted difference...
If someone tried to sell illegal weapons, (switchblades, automatics, explosives etc) or drugs, they'd be tracked down and arrested pretty quickly for trying to sell big heat and crack out of their momma's basement...
But what if... their IP address couldn't be tracked?
An IP address is much like a mailing address, except it's more complicated, and dark web users can use programs like 'Tor' to create a webpage... (it's interesting to note, Tor domain names end in .onion)
And Tor bounces their IP all over the world, as many times as there is levels of code, that way, each bounce, one strip of code is lost and it is 'impossible' to track down the original location of the domain name...
This being said, recently during "Operation Onymous" a global task force arrested 17 suspects in as many countries and 414 .onion domain names were also taken in the bust.
Like Life, the law will find a way.
Visiting the dark web is impossible without a special program like Tor, but while most visiting isn't illegal, all visits are unadvised.
