Yeah, if this was possible, why are the authorities not doing it to catch buyers?
I can't help but think that the series of extremely big operations by a fair amount of countries, interpol and resources can't be worth catching 230kg of drugs (which includes a lot of weed) spread over 150 sesperate vendors. The crypto $ amount is also misleading as crypto has 10+x'd quite quickly. I wish they'd go after the operations that actually hurt people. Hell, you can walk in plenty of places in Berlin (and…
Don't people do weapons and human trafficking on the markets? I think it would be cool if there was more progress made on that front.

It's possible to combat both online and offline drug trafficking. What do you think will happen when word spreads that darknet trading is way safer than offline?

Drugs are a great way to raise cash for other criminal enterprise, the same way you have to mine ore early on in Red Alert. Maybe they'd argue that they're cutting at the root here?

straight up FUD. last time i was on a darknet market it wouldn't load the main page unless you disabled javascript. i know the Tor browser has to serve many masters but its always shocking that it doesn't disable javascript by default but give the user an easy way to add sites to the allow list. or at least just disable javascript on .onion sites

People who sell online are very different from those who sell in-person. Most come from socio-economic backgrounds where all kinds of anti-social behaviour is normalized. They are also not "professional" so to speak, and do not know the words Op and Sec. Someone who's selling acid on the net will not rob you, since they're not dumb enough to. So it's an apples to oranges comparison in my opinion.
Regardless, I do wish they would cut it out with the useless arrests. Good job, you seized a car-full of drugs and some dudes who mail drugs, do they think the global drug market has felt real hit? That unlike at every point in human history in which something was prohibited, the black market will just stop? That this actually puts a dent into the bottom-line of criminals? Even if it did, momentary weakness by one criminal group is an immediate invitation for another to expand.

Tor Browser comes with noscript installed to quickly do that if you need.

Isn't that more or less already common knowledge?
