Dark Web is NOT just for criminal activity

[Fritz Owl]

Their has been issue about all kinds of nefarious activity on the Dark Web.

The dark web is not ONLY for shady or illegal activity

Some Social Media sites have dark web .onion addresses to avoid
government censorship in places in Iran and China, which block the major
social media. By using the dark web, people in those countries can visit
social media sites, and the government will NEVER KNOW what you are up to.

You don't even need the Tor software to access Tor and/or the Dark Web.
There are a number of proxies around the world set up where when you
change your proxy settings, and connect, you go right out onto Tor.

My online radio station had a dark web address so people could tune in
from work, and the boss would NEVER KNOW what someone was doing.

Just jump on Tor, use the .onion address our station was on, and their
network admins would NEVER have a CLUE as to WHAT they are up to.

That is why we had more listeners in offices than you might think. By
using our Dark Web .onion address we had, the boss would NEVER KNOW
someone was coming to my radio station.

They would only know they went to somewhere, using Tor.

During Europeans, we would get a lot of traffic, no doubt from people
listening to Worlds, while at work, in Europe, When it came to skaters
and skating in Europe, we were they GO TO place for online coverage that
could not be blocked, if they used the Dark Web to connect.

Maybe PDXISS should consider adding a Dark Web .onion address, so that
if the site is blocked anywhere, someone can jump on to Tor, enter the
.onion address, and get on to PDXISS and network admins will NEVER KNOW
someone went to that site.

Bypassing filtering does NOT break any law

For example, some years ago, I stayed in one hotel that jammed cell
phones, so they could force you to use the house phones

They even blocked Wifi calling offered by Metro and t-Mobile, but I was
able to use a VPN, my own private VPN, to bypass that block on their
firewall and make cell calls using the Internet calling feature offered
by T-Mobile and Metro. They wanted to charge $7.95 a call, even if you
used a calling card via a toll free number.
'
Bypassing their blocking of VoIP calling did not break any US laws, and
since the connection to the VPN on my computers was encrypted, there was
no POSSIBLE way they could have EVER known.

Somebody out there who wanted to bypass any blocking of PDXISS would not
be breaking any laws in the countries that where they likely get a lot
of their visitors (UK,US,Canada,Australia,NZ).

The various mainstream sites that have dark web addresses to avoid any
kind of blocking are not breaking any laws or doing anything nefarious
