What is the Netflix documentary about the dark web?

After a year of waiting, Netflix has finally released its first documentary about the dark web: Deep Web, a look at the dark side of the internet.

For those who haven't been keeping up, the dark web is a part of the internet that has few if any restrictions on who can use it. It is also completely anonymous, and its users have used it for everything from buying drugs to planning and carrying out terrorist attacks.

The film follows a number of people who use the dark web, including a young American hacker known as Malware, a Chinese activist who uses it to find missing relatives, and the owner of a massive pornography website. It is also the story of a young man who used the dark web to buy drugs, and a man who used it to sell them. And it explores the connection between the two.

But how can something as big as the dark web be explored in just one hour of television? What is the dark web? Image copyright Netflix Image caption The Dark Web was filmed in the US and China. Dark web, short for "darknet", is the part of the internet that has no way of knowing who is visiting it. All the usual websites, including Google, Facebook and Twitter, are built on top of a system known as the "open internet" - meaning they are easily visible, indexed and often monitored. But there's another part of the internet called "darknet", which allows for much more secretive and anonymous use. The reason it's called "dark" is because it can't be seen by search engines or webcams, and it's hard to trace if you leave a trail of information, such as your IP address. It's also a completely anonymous environment, meaning your identity doesn't have to be protected. In fact, you can even lie about your identity, using a fake name and an IP address that is in another country.

It's also not under the jurisdiction of any government, which means that there's no requirement to release information about it. The dark web is also very big. The online encyclopedia Wikipedia says that there are about 50 million websites on the dark web.

And there's a lot of activity on it. According to the FBI, there were more than 100,000 reported incidents of hacking and cybercrime in the US in 2023.

Is Unfriended 1 and 2 connected?

If I had to give a rating for the two films it would be 10/10!

They don't disappoint. Not only do they connect with audiences in ways that I never thought were possible, but the way in which they are made is nothing short of outstanding. Unfriended: Uncut isn't a sequel in the traditional sense, but it does follow on from Unfriended 1 and 2. The original film and its follow up Unfriended 2 have both been incredibly successful in terms of ticket sales, having now both surpassed 5 million dollars worldwide and both being nominated for several awards. Now this is where the question arises - will there be a third Unfriended film? I'm sure that after Unfriended 1 and 2 were released the studio were keen to find out if there was any more material to work with. It wasn't until about 4 years ago that the idea of making a third film came about. It wasn't until late last year that Unfriended 3 was officially announced, and since then it has been talked about by both those who work on the film and also by cast members from Unfriended 2. It was announced that the film would be set between the events of Unfriended 1 and 2, and would act as a direct sequel to the original.

Unfriended 3: What it is about. To answer the question posed above, I think there is a good chance that we'll see Unfriended 3. The main reason for this is that one of the main characters from the first two films (I won't say which one) will be returning. This person has been missing for a number of years and so it's only right that he or she should return. However, because this person has been missing for a while it means that the story will no longer be as strong as it was in the first two movies. Unfriended 3 will need to fill in the gaps left by the previous films and I think that it's a good idea for the film to fill this gap. It's also been said that the people from Unfriended 2 will all be back for the third film, so it seems a safe bet that we'll see them in the film again.

This film will be a direct continuation of Unfriended 1 and 2.

Is it illegal to watch the dark web?

I don't think so, but I'd like to know.

How much are police and law enforcement allowed to do in terms of searches?

This is not a criminal issue so it would seem that the burden of proof lies with those who are being investigated. As such, the burden of proof should be placed on the agency, or agency member.

If you suspect you may be under surveillance, what should you do? Well, as usual, what you'd do if you were suspicious in public is an excellent guide. What you should do if you believe your privacy has been violated is a bit trickier. If you're not sure whether you're being watched, how can you be certain?

First of all, you need to assess the risk associated with acting on your suspicions. How much time and effort do you want to put into this, and what could happen if you're wrong? There's no point wasting energy on a wild goose chase if there's little reward. At the same time, there's no point acting on your suspicions if you're almost certain to be doing more harm than good.

After you've considered the implications of acting on your suspicions, you'll need to be aware of potential liabilities. For example, if the agency uses a pretext of conducting research, they're in clear breach of a number of privacy laws, including the Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Act. If the agency is engaged in surveillance without an express legal basis, they can be prosecuted under the Crimes Act. Even if the agency hasn't used a legal loophole, if you use the information against them, you'll be liable for damages, and the agency might well have a case against you for using private information. It's not as though you can argue that you haven't broken any laws, because the issue is whether you acted in good faith.

The point is that people can be punished for what they do, even if what they do isn't illegal, and if they act on a reasonable belief that they may be acting in breach of their legal obligations. You don't have to fear the consequences of acting on a reasonable suspicion that your privacy may have been violated.

If you're reasonably confident that your privacy may have been violated, one thing to consider is asking the agency for an explanation of why they're investigating you.
