After Silk Road

Silk_Road_LogoThe Internet routes around damage. With the fall of the Silk Road there comes the inevitable expectation that the underbelly of the Internet is somehow cut and something important has been removed like a dark organ of indeterminate worth and function. This is not true. As we well know the Silk Road was not the first nor the last online market - even as the Feds celebrate their victory the Sheep Marketplace and Black Market Reloaded are angling for the crown - but the destruction of the Silk Road and, to a degree, the recent comments by the Lavabit founder, shows how deeply we trust the Internet with our secrets and how readily it gives them up.
