The darknet just got its first black market search engine

May 2024 · 1 minute read

The darknet black market scene was set back when US law enforcement took down Silk Road, by far the largest site, and arrested its alleged owner. Other sites, including a successor to Silk Road, were busted, went out of business, or simply disappeared. However, new sites continue to crop up, peddling drugs, guns, and credit cards. Grams doesn't collect any personal information, so it's pretty safe to use. But by funneling users to sites where they can buy drugs, Grams is likely breaking US law — Google had to pay a fine in 2011 for directing users to illegal online pharmacies. If it makes the darknet significantly easier to use, it could become a target for law enforcement in the future.
