welcome to the darknet.

more reasons why the institute of illogical operation needs to team up with the pirate party.

today they launched the most massive darknet ever conceived.

Relakks provides services to help individuals to assure the security and integrity of their information. Relakks’ responsibility stems from the strong Swedish tradition of protecting the integrity of private life and all forms of communication between individuals.

Relakks – broadband Swedish style!

from the press release:

Today, the Swedish Pirate Party launched a new Internet service that lets anybody send and receive files and information over the Internet without fear of being monitored or logged. In technical terms, such a network is called a “darknet”. The service allows people to use an untraceable address in the darknet, where they cannot be personally identified.

“There are many legitimate reasons to want to be completely anonymous on the Internet,” says Rickard Falkvinge, chairman of the Pirate Party. “If the government can check everything each citizen does, nobody can keep the government in check. The right to exchange information in private is fundamental to the democratic society. Without a safe and convenient way of accessing the Internet anonymously, this right is rendered null and void.”

EDIT: apparently some people dont like the dark and would prefer someone left the lights on. they call it a “bright-net.” ill get more info on it soon.

One comment for “welcome to the darknet.”

  1. yay for kiddie pornsters!

    It’s too bad that shit like this will always get shot down by the naysayers because of kiddie porn. Of course bad people are going to use new technology for bad things. That’s just what happens with every single thing ever.

    Hooray for darknet.
