The Bad

http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnist/komando/2015/05/01/internet-dark-web/26452515/

I believe this represents the bad side of the internet because the deep web and the dark web are where a lot of illegal things can go on. I don't believe it is bad enough to be the ugly because there are positives to the deep web like government databases. The dark web is called dark for a reason though." If you want to buy illegal drugs, guns, counterfeit money, stolen items, fake degrees or passports, cloned debit cards, hacking tools, weapons and more, you can." (Komando) The dark web is not easy to find so most ordinary people will not be able to just log into it with a normal browser. One of the more popular browsers people use on the dark web is "Tor" which blocks people from seeing your ip address. I believe the dark web is bad because millions or maybe billions of illicit dollars are being transferred.

I think this source was valid because usa today is a very credited online site and the author also has good credentials. The author also provides a link to her website and also her email for any questions. The source uses the government and its organizations as credited sources and it seems as if the article is well researched.
