The UN Wants To End Dark Net Drug Sales
...
If it is up to the United Nations, the war against the dark net is only just beginning. Their latest report mentions how law enforcement is "still not in a position to effectively deal with the anonymous online marketplace". Users protect their identity through anonymity software, which cannot be legally bypassed. Then again, the FBI seems to be able to do so, albeit there are a lot of questions regarding their tactics.

Europol has been a favorite of building technical solutions that allow for technical investigations using the dark net. However, the law enforcement agency wants to remain compliant with relevant legislation. The FBI, on the other hand, mistaking the "hack first, ask for permission later' approach. Oddly enough, the legal system is not punishing them for doing so either.

It remains to be seen how the United Nations decide to tackle this hurdle moving forward, though. There is very little this "governmental body" can do on their own as they do not have any official jurisdiction anywhere. For the time being, the dark net can continue this operation unencumbered.
Just when you thought the UN couldn't get any more useless...
