Deep web, Darknet, Wildlife trade, Darknet Market
I already made the following Edits to the Dark web page:
Many individual journalists, alternative news organizations, and educators or researchers are influential in their writing and speaking of the Darknet, and making its use clear to the general public.
Jamie Bartlett is a journalist and tech blogger for The Telegraph and Director of The Centre for the Analysis of Social Media for Demos in conjunction with The University of Sussex. In his book, The Dark Net, [77] Barlett depicts the world of the Darknet and its implications for human behavior in different context. For example, the book opens with the story of a young girl who seeks positive feedback to build her self-esteem by appearing naked online. She is eventually traced on social media sites where her friends and family were inundated with naked pictures of herself. This story highlights the variety of human interactions the Darknet allows for, but also reminds the reader how participation in a overlay network like the Darknet is rarely in complete separation from the larger Web. Bartlett's many objective is exploration of the Darknet and its implication for society. He explores different sub-cultures, some with positive positive implications for society and some with negative. [78]
Bartlett gave a TEDTalk in June 2015 further examining the subject. [79] His talk, entitled "How the mysterious Darknet is going mainstream", introduces the idea behind the Darknet to the audience, followed by a walkthrough example of one of its websites called the Silk Road. He point out the familiarity of webpage design similar to consumer sites used in the larger commercial Web. Bartlett then presents examples of how operating in an uncertain, high-risk market like those in the Darknet actually breeds innovation that he believes can be applied to all markets in the future. As he points out, because vendors are always thinking of new ways to get around and protect themselves, the Darknet has become more decentralized, more customer friendly, harder to sensor, and more innovative. As our societies are increasingly searching for more ways to retain privacy online, such changes as those occurring in the Darknet are not only innovative, but could be beneficial to commercial online websites and markets.
Vice News is Vice Media, Inc.'s current affairs channel, producing daily documentary essays and video through its website and YouTube channel. It promotes itself on its coverage of under-reported and off-stream stories. Vice News was created in December 2013 and is based in New York City, though it has bureaus worldwide. Since its creation, Vice News has covered emerging events and widespread issues around the world in a unique way that traditional media channels cannot or do not. As an "alternative" news station, it is able to cover many controversial, un-edited topics. One of these is the Darknet. Vice has many stories now examining different aspects of the Darknet and its underground markets, including examination of illegal animal hunting, child pornography, and drugs on the Darknet.
Traditional media and news channels like ABC News have also featured articles examining the Darknet. [80] Vanity fair published an article in October of 2016 entitled The Other Internet. The article discusses the rise of the Dark Net and mentions that the stakes have become high in a lawless digital wilderness. It mentions that vulnerability is a weakness in a network's defenses. Other topics include the e-commerce versions of conventional black markets, cyberweaponry from TheRealDeal, and role of operations security. [81]

Edit Made:
Within the markets existing in the Dark web, illegal animal trade has increasingly appeared in Dark web markets after scrutiny and regulation increased in the World Wide Web. However the amount of activity is still negligible compared to the amount on the open web. As stated in an examination of search engine key words relating to wildlife trade, "This negligible level of activity related to the illegal trade of wildlife on the dark web relative to the open and increasing trade on the surface web may indicate a lack of successful enforcement against illegal wildlife trade on the surface web." [4]
Edit Made to Wildlife trade page:
Through both deep web (password protected, encrypted) and dark web (special portal browsers) markets, participants can trade and transact illegal substances, including wildlife. However the amount of activity is still negligible compared to the amount on the open or surface web. As stated in an examination of search engine key words relating to wildlife trade in an article published by Conservation Biology, "This negligible level of activity related to the illegal trade of wildlife on the dark web relative to the open and increasing trade on the surface web may indicate a lack of successful enforcement against illegal wildlife trade on the surface web."

One of the important features of bitcoin and similar services in the Dark web are their encryption policy, which is becoming a test of the values of liberal democracy in the twenty-first century. [6]
