Dark Web to be Soon Infiltrated by Police in Australia's New Law

Federal Police in Australia now can swarm the Dark Web and look for online crimes committed against the laws and citizens of the country, being one of the firsts in enforcing justice on the internet. While various laws protect people from the internet already, the Dark Web is a different topic as it moves away from the "surface."

At first knowledge of the Dark Web, most of the transactions and happening within it are illegal, shady, and scary, which compromises different people and has no regard for privacy and safety of different users. Moreover, the Dark Web is one of the most elusive platforms as it requires a sophisticated way to get inside it, using the infamous "Tor Browser" to get in the platform.

Initial misconceptions on the Dark Web are mostly illegal, with people engaging in ruthless acts and behavior on the "dark side of the internet" mostly because their IP addresses are hidden and safeguarded. Moreover, people are not that mistaken, as the main purpose of the dark web is to hide personal information and location so that they can engage in nefarious activities.

Dark Web Cops from Australia

According to ZD Net on Sunday, March 21, the "Hacking Bill" that was passed to Australia's parliamentary is already in motion, and the Commissioner of Australia's Federal Police (AFP) Reese Kershaw presses down its importance. The bill would help in serving up warrants, tracking down, and arresting people that are engaging in illegal activities on the Dark Web.

The main purpose of this bill is to protect Australia and its citizens, as well as focus on Australian citizens that engage in the malicious acts that are deemed illegal of the country's laws and regulations. In addition to that, this would be an extensive police search, particularly as the Dark Web is a highly complicated platform on the internet.

The AFP would do their best to gather intelligence and track down the illegal activities within their jurisdiction, and reduce the number of people engaging in illegal activities within the country. The Dark Web has resulted in a lot of identity theft and sale from several people, along with arms, drugs, and sexual harassment clips circulating on it.

Dark Web 'Hacking Bill' Could be Used for Other Countries

Kaspersky says that the Dark Web is only accessible by specific websites in the "surface internet" which is the most used aspect or side of the internet that is known to man. With this, people are transported to a new dimension or clarity that allows people to see the different sides of the internet, showing mostly its darker side.

The Australian authorities have reiterated that there are three parameters of the warrants for the online crimes committed, and the Hacking Bill could be applied for other countries in catching Dark Web crimes. The bill could help in jumpstarting the jurisdiction within the dark web for other nations, essentially helping in reducing crimes and illegal activities.
