WAHOO! One should not be punished for crimes they did not commit. You should not be able to take a weapon manufacture to court because a crime committed with a weapon, you should not take a automotive manufacture to court because someone abducted someone with their brand of van, a programmer who makes a very good encrypted messenger app should not be responsible for criminals that uses his app.
I dislike this article though. The subtitle clearly takes 1 side. "He created a site to sell drugs"(paraphrased). no he didnt. he created a site to let people buy and sell stuff. without any moderation (and due to the nature of the dark web) drugs and weapons started to be sold there.
the assassination thing is bogus, and yea, you shouldnt be arrested for creating a medium. he didnt buy or sell any drugs himself. he didnt commit any crimes. its not a crime to create a platform and fail to moderate it. he shouldnt be responsible for what people do/sell on his platform. they should go after the people selling the drugs and guns, rather then the guy who built the site
I was able to [follow the film](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBOBuqBzn7w), even though I was a little fixated, but I could see that his intention was clearly to create a means of communication in which drug addicts can buy their drugs and remain anonymous. Because if that wasn't the intention, we could find other products being sold on the site. Don't you think?
thats the thing. i was used for other things aswell. now due to the nature of the darkweb it was mostly stuff that couldnt be sold on ebay. malware, stolen info, fake identities, slaves, weapons, adult services, etc. people would use the silk road platform when they wanted to sell stuff they couldnt sell on facebook marketplace or craigslist. it will ofcourse tend to be illegal stuff such as narcotics. Still. creating a website, is not illegal. he didnt directly commit any crimes. he made a site, with no limits, and yes he profited and i would understand if the gov takes his money because he did get it as commission of illegal stuff. but i dont think jail is fair. just take the $ that he made as profit from the site and call it good. he didnt sell any drugs or illegal stuff himself.
i didnt know they made a film actually haha
its the dark web. it is mostly drugs haha. yea no the whole gimick of the place was sell whatever you want, it just drugs are the easiest to ship i guess :P

so clearly you're saying that he should never be arrested?
