2. WHAT IS IT?
Refers to the massive repository of
information and online content that
search engines and directories
don’t have access to.
HOW BIG IS IT?
It is estimated to be 500 times
bigger than the searchable Web,
given that Google covers 8 billions
pages.

3. WHY IS IT INVISIBLE?
Technical barriers as put up by its sit
owners allow its pages to be exuded
from search engine spiders. Proxy
servers, encryption, other security
measures guard these websites.
WHAT CAN IT PROVIDE?
It provides information and resources
that you cannot typically get from
usual search engines. It also contains
a lot of secured information.

4. SOME EXAMPLES:
LEGAL:
• Secured Academic Databases (E-books,
Scholarly Journals, Etc)
• Subscription-Only Information and Other
Password-Protected Data
• Government-Restricted Information
ILLEGAL:
• Criminal Activity Portals & Databases
• Online Market Places That offer illegal
pornography, drugs, weapons, etc.

5. IMPLICATIONS TO E-COMMERCE
(1) For the illegal aspect of the dark net, black market merchants
and criminals will continue to see the advantages of utilizing
the internet and world wide web and continue to promote and
sell illegal products and services.
(2) The dark net will continue to grow as long as buyers and
sellers are allowed to interact through what are considered
illegal websites.
(3) As for the invisible net that is considered “legal”, these
websites will continue to legally exist through the strong value
proposition it provides its consumers.

6. IMPLICATIONS TO E-COMMERCE
4)
Websites who have captured the interest and engagement of
a certain market will continue to capitalize on its target
consumers and position itself to profit in a world of
anonymous commerce and communication.
5) In the long-term, e-commerce websites will provide stricter
measures of privacy for its users and customers. This will
cause more anonymity with profiles, payments, services, and
product deliveries.

7. THE NEXT TWO YEARS
(1) Existing websites that promote
illegal activity and provide illegal
content such as torrent websites
and black market websites will
be challenged as government
laws that concern E-commerce
activity become stricter and
more controlling.
(2) New innovations on online illegal
activity will emanate up as
geniuses come up with smarter
ways to make their way around
government laws.

8. THE NEXT TWO YEARS
3) The strong players in the dark
net will continue to exist and
provide low cost, high-quality
service to large group of
consumers.
4) More people will be made
aware of these kinds of
websites. Many will be
tempted to use black market
websites to get illegal
products and services.
