Issue I: Exploring the Dark Web
What is Dark Web? You may not have the slightest idea about the Dark Web. Or you may have scanty knowledge about it. Or what the Dark Web may conjure to you is only an image of a haven for terrorists and criminals.
Whatever your notion or knowledge of the Dark Web, you do not want to miss this ALIGN’s I-lluminate issue. The issue provides straightforward but also well-thought discussions of the Dark Web, exploring the technology from four main perspectives: the Dark Web and activism, journalistic uses of the Dark Web, public perceptions and attitudes towards the Dark Web, and the validity of the evidence on the Dark Web’s connection to terrorism.
