Is the Dark Web Illegal?

 


You must have heard about it; tempted by it even. You’ve probably had a few surfs on it. The dark web is a slice of chocolate cake we just cannot resist; you get the gist.

Let’s be honest, we have all had our share of fantasies of the dark web. If nothing else, the curiosity to look into it. Why else would it not be available on normal search engines? Why else would it require VPNs? Why else would it require someone to be sneaky? It must hold something, right? Something dark? Something naughty? Something that is considered a no no? Allow me cut right to the chase and say the word out loud: illegal. It must definitely hold something illegal. Why else would it be pried away from eyes of the public for you to surf on like some deep bottom of the ocean that is dark and rarely looked into?

Well, you are both right and wrong.

Many things on the dark web are illegal. You will easily find fraud services and hoaxes. You will come across hacking groups and services to your heart’s contents. And prepare to find pornography that might include killing animals and sexual torture or even children.

*shudders

And of course, the dark net market which is assumed to be involved in drugs and who knows what illegal substances.

But don’t be left with the impression that everything on the dark web is illegal; no. for starters, you will be able to find material that you can rarely find elsewhere; valuable material. It could be full editions of hard to find books or some political news. You will be able to discuss on current events and situations anonymously. You can even find whistleblower sites there.

So that’s the matter on the illegality of the dark web. Whether you want to explore it or not is completely up to you.

Enter the dark web at your own risk.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

Best Places for Breakfast in Kathmandu

The only reason I love sleep, more than the reason that, well, it’s sleep, is that it’s like time travelling to breakfast.  Yeah, no kidding. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Whoever named that meal breakfast, was straightforward. I don’t know who named lunch and dinner, but the breakfast guy? He cut in straight to the point, didn’t he? Because breakfast is literally breaking your 8-10 hours fast. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper, they say. So, you don’t really want to compromise on breakfast now, do you? Now, this is no backlashing, but in many restaurants around town, the most breakfast things they have on the menu are omelet and toast. Yeah, I was disappointed too. There’s this restaurant in Mangal Bazar, where my best friend and I met up early morning. We decided to have breakfast. The restaurant overlooks the courtyard so it’s a beautiful place to talk over a cup of coffee or tea. She and I ordered a cheese ...
