Disadvantages of using the dark web
While reading above, the dark web may seem like the answer to most of the
questions you may still have unanswered. Additionally, it may sound
thrilling and even exotic. After all, there is a curiosity in many that
occasionally as humans, we may feel we need to feel. But just like the wide,
beautiful sea is beautiful, it is also dangerous as many creatures are hidden
within. Such is the case of the dark web. You need to understand before
venturing out that the dark web is not a place where you go blindly.
You may just be going about your day on the dark web and unluckily
stumble into people or even things that could result in very dire
consequences for you. The darknet also has a negative side. It can be used
for activities that are illegal including illegal forums, trade, and exchange of
terrorists and pedophiles on the media. In other words, most of the
cybercrime you know of today happens in the dark web. Cybercriminals are
no longer just after money but much more. These hardened criminals will
take much more than just money, and some of the information anyone can
access there includes personal information, credit card information and just
about anything imaginable. In the same spirit, these items can be bought
and sold as they wish. In the worst-case scenario, you are likely to run into
problems with law enforcement agencies in the long-term. We expound on
some of the consequences of getting involved with the dark web below.
❖ 
Firearms, cash, and precious metals
Expect to meet the buying and sale of firearms, gold, and even cash on the
dark web. It is not unusual to hear on the news that one or more people
were nabbed by the authorities for dealing in firearms sales illegally or for
stealing cash and most recently, getting involved in illegal bitcoin trading
on the internet. Another popular commodity being dealt with on the internet
is gold. Even hitmen can be hired from these places.
❖ 
Distribution of drugs


It is also not unusual to find people who sell illicit drugs on the dark web
under different trade sites. They sell opioids and many other drugs that are
considered illegal, and they use various strategies to avoid getting caught by
the authorities. Some of these strategies include the use of cryptocurrency,
proxies and even VPNs.
❖ 
Kidnap, Pornography and Sex trafficking
Those who deal with pornography, kidnapping, and sex trafficking are also
present on the dark web. While this is depraved and not the best of ventures
that you would want to undertake on the internet, it is important to
understand that this is a part of the dark web too. Not once have people hit
the news headlines for kidnap and trying to sell their victims on the dark
web to make a living
The dark web is, therefore, a place that can present deep challenges for
those who wish to explore it and care should be taken to ensure that you
know exactly what you are getting yourself into before you decide to be a
