My dad asked me about it and was like "don't you ever do something so stupid"

Summarized in what i saw, this is what they allege in the documentary:


Documentary was not bad, but I think a lot of info is changed. They made some look easy like capturing the IP address. Someone on reddit posted that someone else posted IP they thought was SR's address (this dry sntiching needs to stop, you're not going to be cool or a hero. Just a turd who gave info to feds for free) and that might of helped the feds who scour this forum (hi guys!)

Things that get people caught were loose lips, now it's also loose fingers. Watch what you put out there.

if you're a vendor or admin and using public wifi, use laptop with no battery and only power cable with maybe usb tethered to wrist. laptop snatched? cable removal cuts power and or your teather pulls usb and not expose in a decrypted state.

do not communicate on markets unecrypted. if server gets mirrored and the drives aren't encrypted, they'll be part of the bathroom reads for agents. they have nothing but time

my opinons, yours might vary.

what I hated about the documentary was how the captions were small and inconsistently accrosss the screen. They needed to be larger and fixed on a set place with maybe a drop shadow. Why the fuck do these idiots use white text for captions? hard to fucking read on white bg. Don't try to be cool looking by putting small white caption on a vase where it might not be seen. stupid editors.

I'm only an hour in and can already say that this is better than most of the other SR docs out there. Still waiting for some news about that Coen Bros movie though...

Get ready for the influx of people, asking how do I connect to the market, and all the other stuff that comes along with these shows.

Been watching the whole thing, actually not as bad as i expected it to be.

BBC, Nat Geo & Discovery Channel documentaries of all sub-category appear to be hijacked while making their way across the pond and are often given a narrator with a more native tongue, amongst many other little seemingly quite pointless alterations.

I'm watching this special right now. So far it's pretty interesting and we'll put together, I have yet to learn anything new from it yet though.

Bottom line to that scenario is if the lad who they first spoke to about the E thru the mail would of kept fucking shtum about it instead of explaining how n where to get drugs from. The whole incident would of prob gone no where tbh

You can't watch this TV Special without getting the other half of the story. In 2015 a documentary "Deep Web" was released and it played a circuit of well respected international film festivals. It also was broadcast on less 'police state' broadcast networks than the BBC. If you'd like to view it for free then check it out I encourage it: http://watchdocumentaries.com/deep-web/
