Do yourself a favor and demystify the dark web for yourself. Some of the best information is exclusively nestled in forums and marketplaces over there. If you rely on an incentive model of being caught in order to behave, something darknet doesnt offer, that says more about you than anyone else.

Can you give a few examples of what sorts of information is best found in the dark web?

Typically how to use Tor and general OPSEC

For the longest time the best information obfs4 bridges (which are one step in masking Tor use to your network and ISP) was most easily found on the Dread forum there. Fortunately TailsOS uses bridges by default now. But when troubleshooting on clearnet I typically only found out of date stuff on the Tor subreddit. Was useful and better for me.

IRL this is called binding arbitration, and it's often opt-out for your ISP and cellphone provider. Most companies prefer this, as it's faster and more efficient than the judicial system.

It's a bit more specific than just being "faster" and "more efficient". There's two main advantages: First, waiver of class-action rights. This is a big deal because there's a cottage industry of enterprising lawyers who do find a couple main plaintiffs, generate a suit on behalf of a large class against a deep-pocketed defendant, and settle for something around a dollar per class member plus millions in legal fees.…

True reason is of course that the arbitration courts side with those paying the bills. Otherwise they would have few repeat customers.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It ceases to be anarchism the moment it becomes involuntary. Otherwise it's just another system of authority.

Isn’t any system of governance in a given region (geographic, or virtual) involuntary? Unless you just mean “you can leave if you don’t like it,” but that’s true for all systems of governance.

Not an expert on the topic, but my understanding is that anarchy rejects governance in general - there wouldn't be any "elevated decision-making body". It's not as much "you can leave if you don't like it" as it's "if you're here then you can change things".

I'm not prepared to defend this but that's the view - if you have a system of governance it isn't anarchy so if the argument is "all systems of governance are at least partially involuntary" then that may be true but doesn't say anything related to anarchy

I’m interested - how do I find it? Is there a guide? List of places to visit?

Typically over a Tor circuit I visit dark.fail and then switch to the onion url so that exit nodes arent being used Onion addresses frequently change so no use bookmarking them Dark.fail lists a variety of forums, marketplaces, marketplaces with forums, and their current addresses and whether those sites are up or down It also has links to a variety of mainstream media news sources and various government resources th…

You said that "Some of the best information" is on there. What would be an example of that?

Every time when I was checking it out it was just marketplaces and otherwise just things I could find in the clearnet.

I live in NJ where weed is legal but you can't buy it (legally) so we are sort of in a weird spot. anyway, it makes me really not care about ordering weed on the dark web from CA. if the feds catch it, its an ounce of weed to a residence, they don't care and im not gonna go in front of some federal judge on federal drug crimes. if CA or NJ catch it, its legal there, who cares. but the site I use uses an escrow system…

if they seize any powder, they might come a knockin'!

Isn't there a service in Maine where you can pay psychics to find your lost weed and bring it back to you?

Is this anarchism? That being naturally emergent formal processes for things which would normally be handled by the government/legal system.

Most anarchist theories revolve around formal power structures, just decentralized ones, but, they are all voluntary. This seems to be involuntary, as being are being "brought" to court.

There doesn't seem to be an involuntary component; it's a virtual court so 'brought to court' just seems to mean that proceedings have started. You can simply not show up anymore and sort of self select for banishment (once again, from a purely virtual marketplace, not a physical location).

Seems pretty anarchist to me.

> it's faster and more efficient than the judicial system

Only in theory, or maybe if you take averages. As soon as you give people rights (to see the evidence against them, to confront witnesses, etc.) you have to create processes to manage those rights, and it ends up resembling the judicial system.

I had a friend go through a wrongful termination arbitration, and it took two years. Lawyers were present on both sides; the larger party could (and did) stretch out the process so as to bankrupt the smaller one; settlement negotiations were interminable. It's not clear to me that a court case would have been appreciably longer.

Tried it. Found mostly junk information and terrible people. Not worth the effort and time tbh
