Join your host - whose name will remain anonymous - as we get the story behind the Silk Road, the world's most notorious black market and explore the difference between the deep web and the dark web. WHAT IS THE DARK WEB UNMASKED? Your host is an experienced hand in the Dark Web, with a job that requires him to be engaged on a daily basis, trying to keep some semblance of order in his corner of this largely uncharted territory. On each episode, your host will explore the inner workings of The Dark Web. It’s an evocative term. It brings to mind all of the connections and bridges that the modern world have built and asks, what’s the worst they could do? Stories float around about all of the things that can happen in this mysterious underbelly, tales of hit men, child pornography rings, drug dealers, and worse. But what’s the truth of it all? And maybe more importantly, how can it affect you?
