Deep Web (2015)

Administrateur du site emblématique Silk Road, interpellé en 2013, Ross Ulbricht a été condamné à la prison à vie (et pour deux vies sans possibilité de libération anticipée) ; la thèse du film est que sa condamnation, basée sur de nombreuses allégations non prouvées, et des machinations et incitations d’agents du FBI, est un montage politique.

Deep Web gives the inside story of one of the the most important and riveting digital crime sagas of the century — the arrest of Ross William Ulbricht, the convicted 30-year-old entrepreneur accused to be ’Dread Pirate Roberts,’ creator and operator of online black market Silk Road. The film explores how the brightest minds and thought leaders behind the Deep Web are now caught in the crosshairs of the battle for control of a future inextricably linked to technology, with our digital rights hanging in the balance.

In addition to being the only film with exclusive access to the Ulbricht family, Deep Web features the core architects of the Deep Web; anarchistic cryptographers who developed the Deep Web’s tools for the military in the early 1990s; the dissident journalists and whistleblowers who immediately sought refuge in this seemingly secure environment; and the figures behind the rise of Silk Road, which combined the security of the Deep Web with the anonymity of cryptocurrency.

Silk Road boss relaunches site and rejects violence

Just five weeks after the FBI shuttered the Silk Road marketplace and charged 29-year-old Ross Ulbricht with running the Dark Web’s most profitable, trusted, and notorious drugs bazaar, the site is back online.

(...) The Silk Road’s new operator, known by the same pseudonym as his predecessor, Dread Pirate Roberts — spoke to me over an encrypted connection. And, he says, this new phase of the drugs war is as futile, counterproductive, and doomed to failure as the last.
