Topic: Black Web

Senator Dianne Feinstein's comments on the dangers of encryption are mocked, specifically her use of the term "black web" and her claim that terrorists use PlayStation consoles to communicate. The hosts criticize her lack of technical understanding regarding how information is shared on the internet.

The BBC is criticized for a sensationalist report on the "Dark Web," which frames anonymizing software and Bitcoins as tools exclusively for criminals. The report details an undercover purchase of DMT to prove the existence of an online black market. The hosts argue this coverage is intended to demonize online privacy and encryption.
