The document discusses the darknet and Tor network. It describes how the darknet began in 2004 and requires Tor to access. Tor was created to protect user privacy and sharing of sensitive information. The darknet protects both positive uses like free speech and advocacy, as well as illegal uses like child pornography, drugs, and weapons. In the future, the darknet could have both benefits of promoting free speech but also negatives of enabling more crimes since users remain anonymous.
