"The Deep Web" sounds like a bullshit term some cop show made up for its hacker character to say ("The serial killer's firewall has breached our Javascript! We have to backtrace him before he escapes into the Deep Web!&quot , but it turns out it is a real thing. Specifically, it's a hidden (that is, not indexed by search engines) part of the Web in which the sites are protected by passwords and where membership is often by invitation only. So, who uses it? Some drug dealers, but, mostly, it's pedophiles. Lots and lots of pedophiles.

Our source, "Pam", spent months undercover in an online community of child molesters, learning their lingo and studying their ways as part of an undergrad research project. The evidence she brought back is truly horrifying, and a quick heads up: Nothing that appears after this paragraph will be the least bit safe for your brain.

1. This story is too disturbing

It should not have been posted. cracked is a really fucked up website

2. Many government leaders are into this, so it's no coincidence these dark webs are government issue.

Many gangs at the top of the political heap are held together by dirty, deadly, vile secrets.

If you've got a photo of an FBI or CIA director enjoying a blow job from another guy, he's got a photo of you raping a boy.

There are inner circles of the Vatican that work this way too.

5. If it's so disturbing, then why did you post the link?

And why did you reply except to kick your own OP when no one else had done it for you?


The story is indeed very disturbing, and it needs to be dragged out into the light of day so that we see it for what it is. Kudos to Cracked.com for raising awareness of this vile and disgusting culture.

Now... Where do we go from here? Do we ignore the article and its subject? Or do we recognize that the article is nowhere nearly as "disturbing" as the industry it exposes?

7. Here are the section headings:

#5. In The Dark Web, You'll Find A Whole Pedophile "Community"
#4. There Are Two Opposing "Camps" Of Child Molester
#3. For Some People, It's A Family Business
#2. Child Molesters Have A Handbook
#1. They Are Very Good At Staying Anonymous

From the article.

Definitely worth reading IMO. The article is wholly unambiguous in its condemnation of the culture, and it reveals information about it that one is generally not likely to hear on CNN or read on HuffPo.

8. That does sound very informative.

4. They're going to get caught eventually if they use Microsoft.

My son-in law was just sent to Federal Prison because Microsoft reported that his computer had downloaded child porn to the Feds. They showed-up one Day and confiscated his computer, and sure-enough, there were a couple of illegal pics. He has no idea how they got there, but the Feds would have none of it and he ended up coping a plea.

Microsoft is nobody's friend. The 'government' could make any category of internet traffic illegal and MS will be happy to supply them with the info.

You worry about NSA? Feh...NSA has nothing on MS.
