- Last month's FBI raid on Silk Road 2.0 has done little to slow the drug, weapon, and stolen identity trade on the dark net—in fact, shutting down the relatively tame Silk Road created a vacuum that was immediately filled with sites that are "more dangerous in their nature," according to a new analysis by a group called the Digital Citizens Alliance.
I still think "Dark net" is a dumb fucking name.

I'm a bit disappointed they didn't include a couple screenshots in the article, it's easier to compare things when you have the numbers from before the raid too instead of vague percentages like "30% less drug listings".
