5. Child Pornography
Strong encryption and identity protection on the Dark Web makes it very hard for law officials to get through the child abuse victims. Pedophile network on the Deep Web is thriving but the other side works tirelessly to bring down their sick websites. Personally, I believe that websites connected to human trafficking and pedophile networks on Deep Web are definitely the creepiest, sickest and absolutely worst things one can find on a Deep Web. In 2015, Steven W. Chase was sentenced to 30 years in prison because he was a creator and chief administrator of Playpen, Dark Web website which traded in child pornography and had around 250,000 users. In 2017, a hacker associated with the Anonymous group took down 20% or around 10,000 websites in protest against child pornography when he attacked Freedom Hosting II. Although this is a small win, when you think of remaining 80% of these sick websites, still it is a step forward in bringing down pedophile network. We’re lucky to have hackers who use their expertise to fight crime, in one way or the other.
