Title: Silk Road In The Sun Newspaper (UK)
Post by: Jay on April 01, 2012, 01:49 pm
For anyone who hasn't seen already; Silk Road has been mentioned in The Sun newpaper today:

www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4232399/Deadly-drugs-for-sale-in-online-universe-called-Dark-Web.html

Thoughts?

Hopefully it blows over. I really hate these media assholes, why are they completely incapable of being objective? I swear people are so angry and spiteful for no reason..

"DRUG dealers are operating beyond the reach of law in a sinister parallel online universe called the Dark Web. "

"But by simply downloading special software freely available on the net, you can anonymously access a world of evil with no fear of being caught."

"Former Home Secretary David Blunkett said last night: "I'm amazed by what The Sun has uncovered. It is utterly sinister — an online engine of the criminal underworld."

How objective!

They didn't mention the road by name, nor tor, couldn't even bring themselves to say anything apart from "DARK WEB SCARY"...

The Sun is a classic, gotta give it to them for trying to make it as sensationalist and one sided a story as possible.

These are pretty much the same people as NotW that brought you some real exclusive news via phone hacking.  Murdoch is a cnt.

I just checked and it's in the physical paper so there would have been a lot of sheeple who read this today.

Here's the scan from the paper, it actually provides a little more information of this person's SR account.

We have a great section on harm reduction and alot of people have learned about the safe ways of drug us. But lets completely ignore that side of the story. REPORTERS.

I was gonna say the same thing.  $1500+ for a "test account" to sample drugs is pretty large.  Oh well, good for the economy I guess.

Btw, does anyone know what they did with all these drugs after ordering?  I am sure they went straight into the trash.

Haha YES to this comment. Probs went something a little like this:

"Yes I think *powder in spoon* we can definitely all agree *adds water and bases* that this SR thing is evil! *filters and sucks into syringe* So we have no choice but to *belts arm* report on this and create a lot of *shoots, scores* hyyyyyyppppeeee..........*falls off his chair*"

I almost fell out of my chair when I saw how many coins they had.


EDIT:
Also, I just thought of something! If any of us ever get in trouble for using SR, we should just say it was all merely extensive research for the newspaper articles we all intend to someday write! IT'S RESEARCH, DAMNIT!

That was a !@#% hilarious read.  I feel so privileged to be a part of this sinister terrorist plot.  If drugs are terrorism then I want another 9/11.

It's funny, but the BBC had a story 2 months ago... Pure tabloid sensationalism, the paper is a shambles anyway, a Rupert Murdock rag... If I ever buy have a copy it usually ends up as toilet paper!!
Title: Re: Silk Road In The Sun Newspaper (UK)
Post by: Limetless on April 01, 2012, 08:59 pm
Yeah, if they equate this to terrorism then perhaps The Sun also needs to address why the Taliban and their good chums Al-Quieda isn't throwing grams of Ecstasy or Coke at the West? Doesn't add up to me....
Title: Re: Silk Road In The Sun Newspaper (UK)
Post by: slower on April 01, 2012, 09:06 pm
So the Sun put this story out just before our dear coalition announce plans to introduce and rush through laws which will allow GCHQ to monitor all UK internet comms in realtime. I'm sure it's purely a co-incidence.  ::)

On the up side maybe it will make it easier to persuade more people to use countermeasures. Eh.

NeuroticNarcotic received a nice highlight. He should be proud.

And journalists can buy drugs on internet just because they are journalists?

TheSun is a joke.

They forgot to mention the often interminable wait to get bitcoins in the article either!

What annoys me the most (god, I hope this doesn't offend anyone) is that it's in The Sun...it has the reading age of an 8 year old (linguistically - for real!) so the people that read it are hardly, er, well, smart - especially given the crap articles the publish. I hope this won't mean in flux of idiots here!
