The deep web is a large, anonymous part of the internet that can only be accessed with special software. It provides refuge for political dissidents but is also used for illegal activities. The deep web implies there is much about the internet we do not see and could impact ecommerce if illegal sales occur there, as governments may restrict online commerce in response. In the next two years, awareness of the dark web is expected to grow and spark ethical debates around internet anonymity, while laws are passed to curb anticipated illegal behavior resulting from expanded access to the deep web.

2. THERE IS SOMETHING LURKING BENEATH THE
SRUFACE.
The DEEP WEB is called the deep web because of its massive size, it’s
literally ‘deep’.
The deep web is truly anonymous – you can’t even get
on it unless you yourself are anonymous.

3. THE DEEP WEB, IS ALSO KNOWN
AS THE DARK WEB.
This is the home to both rogues and political
activists, and accessed only with the help of specially
designed anonymizing software.

4. It’s a secretive place, where Arab Spring dissidents can hide
their digital tracks, a place where whistleblowers can reach
out safely to scoop-seeking media outlets.
And, yes, it’s also a dangerous place, where a lot of illicit,
underground nastiness occurs.

5. IMPLICATIONS/EFFECTS ON
ECOMMERCE
• The Dark Web, or Deep Web implies that
there is a big world out there in the internet
that we do not know.
• Ecommerce deals with selling in the
internet, but how do we use it if we do not
fully understand or know what it is fully?

6. IMPLICATIONS/EFFECTS ON
ECOMMERCE
• Illegal activities of ecommerce can be said are
being done in the Dark Web, or Deep Net.
• The government might find ways in shutting
down ecommerce for good because of it being
use in illegal means

7. In the next two years
• I see the Dark net, or deep web being more
widespread toward the people.
• I see opportunists taking this chance on doing
something illegal or unethical because of
being able to be anonymous.
• I feel that the dark net would make people
think on how anonymous do they really are in
the current internet now.

8. In the next two years
• Ethical discussion on anonymity in the net
would be raise and discussed for years to
come.
• Laws would be pass on to prevent illegal
activities that may arise because of the
growing knowledge of the dark web to the
people.
