THW: ban the Deep Web
More than 99% of the world is hidden beneath the surface known as the Deep Web. The deep web is a part of the internet which cannot be indexed by search engines, such as Google. While the internet we know makes up 17 terabytes, the Deep web has an astonishing amount of more than 7,500 terabytes. The US military had made this vast plain of unknown internet in order to make secret missions such as tracking hackers easier, and for the past years, it has proved useful. However, there is a negative side to the Deep Web as well. People like Ross Ulbricht has been making sites like the Silk Road, a site where drugs like cocaine are bought or sold. Ross Ulbricht, owner of this website, has been arrested, but the number of the corrupted sites is only increasing.
Should the government ban the Deep Web because of these problem, or should it let it run still for better military uses?

I think the NSA have made it impossible to advocate banning Tor. It is the only way to communicate now that cannot be harvested and stored by them. You don't have to be a criminal to use it you just have to be someone that values the fact that your communications won't be stolen by government organisations. The last sentence sounds like I am a conspiracy theorist but unfortunately wikileaks has shown that the conspiracy theorists were right. I don't think even the wildest of them could have imagined that the NSA would have put a balloons in the sky to mimic cell towers to collect the private communications of whole cities... Side: opposition: no, it should not.
