Dark Web Interdiction Act of 2025

Here is the text of a bill introduced to Congress (US), ostensibly to combat the trafficking of opioids over “The Dark Web”. There’s a nice definition of “The Dark Web” at section 4.

I like the part where it says people are using “The Dark Web” both within the United States and “at the international border”.

It was already illegal but now it’s super duper illegal 🤣 can’t these board geezer fucktards just go play some shuffleboard if they’re not going to find any real laws to make

Aimed entirely to appease and impress the many MAGA / Trump voting dumbasses.

This is just an attempt to force people to “Buy American” illegal drugs.

I like the part where it says people are using “The Dark Web” both within the United States and “at the international border”.

Because that would put essentially all computer crimes in ICE jurisdiction.

“A law to make crime illegal”

So any messaging platform is a dark web?

Donald J. Trump pardoned The Silk Road guy, who was responsible for a non-zero amount of opioid sales on the dark web.

Sending drugs in the mail is illegal. The point of this bill is to create pretext for seizing data from servers. When they say “dark” they mean “encrypted” and when they say “illegal” they mean “private.”
