The Darknet and Smarter Crime

More about the book

Focusing on the complexities of cybersecurity, this book explores the interplay between cybercrime, illicit markets, and drug use within darknet cryptomarkets. It highlights the contentious dynamics among citizens, states, NGOs, and corporations as they navigate evolving technologies. The increasing emphasis on online privacy raises critical concerns about confidentiality and autonomy, juxtaposed against the risks of ungovernable spaces that enable terrorism and harassment. This duality of the internet fosters both counter-publics and state control over data infrastructure.
