The dark web, the sale of illegal weapons and the impact on international security

 In this article, I could understand what the dark web is. Many weapons have been sold and purchased on the black web, and these products have been trafficked beyond the national borders. One thing I was surprised by is “Almost 60% of the firearms listings are associated with products that originate from the US.” It doesn’t mean the US is the largest market for arms trade on the dark web, but it is a fact that the US provides the weapons to the black market. When I read this article, I wondered why developed countries such as the US take part in the black market and gain some benefit from it. This system makes people and the countries easy to happen the conflicts and terrorism, but it would not disappear even though some countries carried out law enforcement to avoid the international crisis because the internet and technology have been developing day by day, and there are many ways to get past the surveillance. The development of the internet and technology has changed the way we live. Now, we can communicate with anyone wherever we are. The connection and community made from the development of technology are amazing, but at the same time, it could be able to be the cause of the international crisis.
