Happy tenth birthday, the Dark Web

In today's Briefing, we explain what the dark web is... and what’s happened in the ten years since Silk Road first launched.

Silk Road was the first big dark web marketplace to gain notoriety... but it only lasted two years until it was shut down and its owner arrested and jailed.

Earlier this month a very similar shutdown happened... and this time an Australian guy was in the cross hairs. We're joined today. by a dark web user; and Professor Monica Barratt, a senior researcher at RMIT, to tell us who uses the dark web, and why.

In today's headlines:

  • Millions Western Australia in lockdown after first case in ten months

  • No more “blank cheques” from federal government, warns Scott Morrison

  • Former White Ribbon chairman Andrew O'Keefe charged with domestic violence

  • Mass arrests in Russia as protesters demand jailed critic’s release
