The Dark Net isn't what you think. It's actually key to our privacy | Alex Winter | TEDxMidAtlantic

- There is a hidden Internet, completely separate from the surface Web. Documentary filmmaker Alex Winter spent several years immersed in this fascinating world and talks about how the battle for your right to privacy is being waged in this dark corner of the Internet. You may have heard the "Dark Net" is a scary underworld filled with crime, but Alex's findings will surprise you.
Alex Winter entered show business as a child actor on Broadway and came to prominence in the wildly popular BILL AND TED franchise. Winter’s latest, award-winning documentary DEEP WEB, recently had a critically acclaimed world premiere at SXSW and a broadcast premiere in the U.S. on the Epix network, to be followed by a worldwide release on all platforms in September 2015.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

"Saying you don't need privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don't need freedom of speech because you have nothing to say." - Edward Snowden
+Marcus Romul Nah it's insane, what kills me is any random comment these days can cause you to loose your job. IT's not even spoken word that can get you in trouble these days, but literally thoughts.
+Marcus Romul A lot of people visit these sites out of curiosity, nothing wrong with
that, many people do not know that their activities are stored and can
actually be tracked later, and hence they "research" on these sites for
information and risk assessment: Ofc what they want to hear is, Tor /
Tails etc. is 100% anonymous and I can look at whatever on the dark web.
Reality, however is different, and I believe they deserve this
information, so they can make up with themselves, if this is actually
worth the risk for them.
Knowledge is power, use this to your advantage. Stay safe guys
+Fu cK You just go and paste the same response to every comment on any "Dark Web" related video.
That's correct.
+Marcus Rommul True
So let me get this straight, this is Bill...on a Ted talk...Excellent!

whoa
'Borrowing' this!! Lol. Thanks!
Yep. From Bill and Ted to Bill on TED.
Now that is progress.
My grandpa is very private. He doesn't use internet.
well good for him!!
is he a hacker
Wow this statement is so true yet so not relevant at the same time. We have gone along way from the time where there were no internet and gadgets. Your grandpa is a lucky man.
I may well be older than your grandpa. I access the internet a LOT, multiple times every day. While, on the other hand, I am pretty much a cellphone refusnik. I bought one for a road trip back in 2007, used it for 10-days, then threw it in a drawer until it expired. Never used it again.
I'm so old (64) that I can remember that we used to use computers before the internet existed. Nowadays, most people can't imagine that a computer would have any purpose if it weren't online, LOL. And yet, for 15-years (1980-1994) I'd have to say my computers were my primary addiction. And I didn't get online until 1995.
Maybe he is just not telling his secrets because you blab about him to anyone willing\able to read !!. lol
The best first step is to stop using Facebook.
NEVER USE " UNSOCIAL MEDIA!"
*Fakebook
or know the tools they use and dictate what info they rely upon. they rely on ph to place ppl at places no proof who held the ph
Aaaaand Whatsapp aaaaand instagram!
All that I can say is....AMEN! AND
It's interesting how Alex Winters and Keanu Reeves both became activists.
They are such wonderful people, both of them.
M Smith they went to furure and see it all
It's easy to become whatever you want to be if you have enough money not to worry about money.
@@freqnlodown Having lots of money absolutely does not mean you don't have to worry about money.
It does mean you don't have to worry about how you are going to pay for rent, clothes and food, but you trade worrying about those to worrying about other things. He even gave an example in his talk. Most of us don't have to wait until midnight to go shopping, right?
More money, more problems.
But yeah, I agree you have more choices if you are rich.
And keanu's an actual badass. Check out his gun range videos.
@@freqnlodown but Keanu isn't exactly a 'rich guy'. I mean he is by income, but not by immediate financial availability because he gives most of his income to charities and doesn't live a very luxurious and lavish lifestyle either
Constant surveillance and complete analysis of our private behavior and communication to be sold to the highest bidder denies us the right to be free people.
were corporate slaves. isn't capitalism great?
Andrew Rattle We definitely are.
Yvette Ugalde burn thru the resources like they are unlimited too.
That is true enough. You may be surprised how many folks out there would agree with you.

The reality is, internet traffic leaves a trail. The smaller the footprint, the harder it is to find. Never do anything you would not want someone to find out you did. This was good advice before the internet, now it is very good news.
mackdmara -Common sense should tell you not to put anything in writing whether it's online or snail mail, that being said I have only recently have tried to do any thing on line because my attempts to contact Virginia state agencies to report fraud and abuse in Buchanan County va,the town of Grundy to be specific,during the 1990's the court house and police dept. blocked my internet access with a fraudulent warrant to my internet provider at that time. I did not know my so called family was at least partially responsible for such actions due to their theft of my identity to cover up their own crimes ( my sisters) theft of my Native American ancestors (as the old saying mothers baby-fathers maybe) by immediate family and mothers sister from Spruce Pine Va along with coal and gas rights by family who also had the last name of Mullins from the same area. It is still occurring today Feb.3,2019. Even the device I use (an iPad mini given to me by my sister Sarah Jane Cantrell in 2013 that she mailed me in Illinois where I lived until 2016 partially against my will with Phyllis Horn who is no kin to me but my baby's daddy's mother and am visiting right now in order to see and be with my child since a week before x-mas or I could not access this site). I have been lied to,stole from, physically attacked with broken bones,teeth knocked out,ID perpetually and systematically stolen and returned by Joey Mullins along with my son Malcolm Mullins,both of my brothers ,my nephew and niece along with their drug dealing amegios. If I live I will attempt to get justice when I arrive back down home. My online identity has been comprised by Cindy Shortridge also and 4 days before I caught a bus to come see my daughter in Illinois,Cindy attacked me to prevent my mother from taking me to theDMV to get a real ID on that sat. morning. The following Monday Vansants DMV's systems were down and I could not get the federally required identification made oddly enough? It is time for the TRUTH -hope I survive my family and the corruption that exists in Buchanan County Va.
don't really like or agree with that logic: so, if i want to fight the system, let's say the (lack of) privacy aspect of it - i should give up before even starting - as i don't want the system to find out what i'm going to be doing. right... lets just sit like ducks waiting for our turn to be slaughtered.
i don't think so.

Explain how Tor will help protect this information from hackers.
Otherwise.., if you ware trying to hide this type of information from the government by using Tor.., then explain why.
Alex Winter is a smart, well-informed man. Pretty much the opposite of Bill S. Preston. Thank you, Mr. Winter, for speaking out against the fascists controlling the internet.
Dude! That was an absolutely bodacious talk! Excellent!
+Reinoud Vaandrager It was just missing an air guitar solo at the end.
+CortezHoratio wild stalyns demo tape is in the deepweb
Whoosh!
Totally non-non-non-heinous!
That's redundant
This was a phenomenal TED talk, Mr. Winter. Thank you for all of the efforts that you put into it, and into all of your work.
Always been a fan of Bill&Ted. but I have a new found respect for Alex Winter. Keep speaking the truth.
this is the best of ted talks. absolutely.
Andrew Rattle
There's Several Good T E D Talks!
But it wasn't ted talks...it was Bill talks.
My first reaction was... It's that other guy from Bill & Ted! Then I listened to what he has to say. I was impressed, he demystified the Deep Web and made me understand better about the subject of anonymity
Recently, I came across this video and am glad I watched all of it. Alex did a wonderful job clearly explaining the importance of our right to privacy and what we can do to accomplish that. Well done!
Google and CZcams censorship has got so bad we need an alternative urgently.
add reddit to that list
that's the song of all public media. They start off well, then they grow larger and when profit takes too much control then the users' freedom is cast aside. Same with Twitch, Facebook, Instagram, even damn Tumblr.. Nothing on widespread media is safe
Can you say FREENET? Download and install. No search engines to track you, now servers to store everything about you. You have to learn your selves I have no time to teach it.
Bootleg versions of CZcams or reddit need to emerge, Nd even then trying to convince the masses to switch would be a challenge.
Google alternatives: duckduckgo, swisscows, qwant
CZcams alternatives: lbry, bitchute
Facebook/whatsapp alternative: mastodon/signal
When he said, "I woke up one morning with my face on a cereal box," I thought, it must've been a wild party the night before.
Privacy - the right to be left alone - is a basic human right.
Yeah and Gun Free zones aka FREE KILL ZONES work too. BS
Which procreation violates.
@Jefferdaughter No it’s not. Rights are laws and laws are a convenient agreement between society. If you want to be alone, climb a tree.
exactly!! people think the desire for, privacy is exclusively about hiding something shameful or sinister, but it's actually a keystone to autonomy.
The almost mind-blowing part to me is that fact that it is such an impressive idea to have complete privacy. "Like imagine" lol. How sad that such a thing is so complicated...
- for "complete privacy" it is required that you live completely alone ( -'long-term' and Completely self-sufficient !! ) - Friday obviously no longer 'enjoyed' that , once he 'received' that - his name .....
This dude gets it.
He wrote the book on 'getting it's !
Alex Winter is a great actor. I saw him first in The Lost Boys
SUPER HOT!
It's a Bill and Ted talk
+Dan Stratton you cracked me up withis one !!! :D ROLF
Hahaha
Funny...
LOL
@@russellcheng2378 wow this is awesome i love it????????? PARTYSHOP WEBSITE ?????????? they have best mobile phones
This whole subject started as curiosity and has developed into an obsession. Thanks Alex for making me question everything and thinking outside the norm.
Just saw this. Awesome presentation. Thank you so much. I truly believe it is noble and humanitarian.
It's through either ignorance or apathy that people can't accept that our governments and media may not have our best interests at heart.
Too few are familiar with the concept of individual thought and considering things from their own perspective, other sides to a story.
Hopefully many will stumble upon people like Alex and take notice.
Highly intellectual & great speaker. I am impressed
6 years later, this is more than ever actual! Thank you very much for putting it so clear. Visionary person is the minimum I would say.
The people preventing privacy didn't bring about our existence. Yet they decide the parameters of lives they didnt cause.
Outstanding mind! A true leader! Thumbs up! Amazing presentation!
still being excellent I see ... thank you
I needed to hear this! there's so much false information about the dark net. finally..some honesty! thanks so much for sharing!
Quack Factor ,
He didn't conclude his speech by telling everyone to be excellent to each other!
Outstanding talk on our growing privacy concerns as citizens.
very informative, thanks man and well done!
Very informative!! Thank you so much!! Well done!
it seems to me that he left of where the important conversation, about the need for privacy, was just getting started. everything else was just building a context for this important conversation. i have no idea how to practically increase my privacy in light of all the data logging about my life that's going on with my ISP, the government, etc. so let's start that conversation.
If Elizabeth Warren's presidency is going to be about "breaking up monopolies", she should really go into breaking up comcast; a literal monster.
This dudes *SOOO* RIGHT!!! I still don't get why companies call computers ''PC's?'' When in all actuality there's nothing 'personal' about them:/
I don't know. Why don't you ask IBM. They were the one's who got the whole thing started with their IBM Personal Computer in the early 1980's.The computers we use today are based on the clones of their PC line of computers.
Just C or C's now ? :D
They were ‘personal’ compared to the room sized monstrosities that came before...
If you have a computer at home and use it for your personal needs, as opposed to the one at work, then it's a Personal Computer or PC
"Personal" has more then one meaning and thats how they trick us all words have more then one meanings...stay blessed my people
bravo. loved this talk. u were awesome on bill and ted
Thanks for a fantastic, well prepared, challenging, and dare I say...excellent talk; most bodacious!
Phenomenal Ted talk 🙌 learned so much value from this. And I feel far more educated about the web.
I'm just now seeing this and it was EXECELLENT
I will be sharing this with friends and family. I will also be closing down my Facebook & Twitter accounts r to ight now!! You video on the dark we even-silk road was very informative & easy to understand. Thank you!!
This is very informative. Thanks Alex.

And to finish mr. Franklin's quote ( and will ultimately lose both !)
I wasnt a particular fan of the bill and ted movies but after this talk I am a huge fan of him.
this was brilliant - super respect Alex "Bill" Winter!
Thank you. Very informative and learning a better way to think.
Hear, hear! Well said!
We have given up our privacy too easily and our politicians have been complicit in enabling government, businesses, and others to take it away.
here*, here*
@@wesleyhempoli5548 No, actually, it's "Hear, hear". It means "Hear what this person is saying." Look it up on Grammarly.
Now that I know some things about the dark net, I agree with your speech. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your insight you are brilliant!
Great talk, very informative thank you!
That's the best TEDx talk I've seen so far. I'm glad we've got a few smart people in this world.
bill and tedx back together again excellent diddlydiddlywhoooo ...that was the guitar noise at the end;-)
Laughed way hard at this
Thank you for coming to my Bill & Ted Talk.
Well done. Insightful.
this is why i have no credit card or any card for that matter and only use cash. i feel i am one of only a few people that still use only cash
you could also pay cash to get a non-reloadable pepaid visa that doesnt require any personal information to use
Pretty much the same for me, I do use my business bank card for some transactions cuz I own my own construction company but for the most part, 90% of my transactions are cash, and the rest are just debit purchases from money I already made. I never wana love outside my means and find myself in a deep hole w no ladder out.
As much I thought it was a very good speech all I kept thinking was once this finishes I must find out when the new Bill and Ted movie is coming out
awesome vid. people need to know this goe sure. thx for sharing
Hard to believe that this guy has been _connected_ to "the internet" since the early to mid 1980s. Radical dude. Excellent!🎸🤘🏽😎
Very good talk
Bill's Excellent TED Adventure
I really didn't expect such a wonderful presentation from him. It's hard to separate Alex winter from ted. There's really not much of a difference between Bill, and Keanu Reeves, but this guy's brilliant. I especially like his retort to the common mindset that if you have nothing to hide, why should you care if the government is looking. Ben Franklin would be turning in his grave if he knew what happened to his country,
Very informative talks. I totally love all of the dudes.
17 minutes and he didn't say Bogus once
feel cheated
But aren't you just a little bit smarter for listening?
skawashers that would reduce a serious lecture to a comedy sketch
Watch your 6 Bro
😂
captainboggles because one word definitely turns something into a comedy sketch
ok buddy
Many years After bill and teds movies...
Keane reeves: makes many movies, some good some bad, made into memes.
Alex Winter: no movies of discernible value. Makes documentaries, learns hacking and talks at TEDx talks.
My money is on Alex.
Keanu has given away the majority of his earnings, takes the subway like regular folk and started a charity. He's way more giving than the majority of celebrities. Both Keanu and Alex are socially aware and caring men.
What makes you think he learned hacking?
*Bill gave an excellent TEDTalk.*
thx BILL :D informative speech. true words.
I've often wondered where this guy went after those excellent adventures had ended. Cool !!
He had a bogus journey.
+Daniel Hummel II you know that wasn't right, you know it! Yet you said it anyways. Talking about a damn bogus journey. Now I'm dead on the floor.
rence well wtf. chill out 7 year old
Captain Cluiss that was a stupid ass comment. I don't even remember saying it.
rence well oh thanks for telling me that it was a stupid comment. I guess I should go stick forks in my eyes because apparently I made a "stupid ass comment"
this ted talk was sponsored by nord vpn
using a vpn with tor is actually more dangerous btw
@@hen6003 How so?
@@AnonymousNut the traffic is removed of all traces of u by tor then a vpn thats connected to u adds traces of u
Thank you..I am a pup here...I don't even know where to start..My I.P. was hacked a few years ago...Prior I got for instance Easter 2016 I went to St Thomas Church Hollywood...I told nor wrote anyone I was going there..I usually don't...During I heard a voice say..where is your Mary Magdalene...I walked outside, sat down and got a text asking..where is your Mary Magdalene...I didn't answer the text...I was also sent from Wells Fargo a text to reset the security code of a woman S. Malachai..not too long ago.
@@hen6003 unless the vpn service is compromised, it's still safe. The VPN only encrypts your data in their own encryption and sends it to its intended destination. If the VPN service isn't compromised, there is no reason it would be dangerous. And reliable VPNs aren't usually compromised.
Bill learnt a lot from travelling through time..........Excellent!!!!!
Fantastic talk, thank you.
"Huh, he looks like Bill from Bill and Ted" 0:37 "Oh damn!"
I think that we need to go back to beepers and pay phones.
Very accurate information. Thanks a lot
What a Fabulous Talk...Thank you Alex...!!!
I thought this was Ted x Talks,obviously it's Bill xTalks!
i'm happy that someone is clarifying for the simple minded people.
I learned a lot in this video so thanks for that. It is really important that the general audience knows that the Dark Net is not primarily a place of crime and bad things. In times of Facebook and misused data, more and more people tend to realize that total freedom and anonymity are important goals. Let's take for example privacy coins (Zcash, Monero, DeepOnion) which already provide a solution for this problem - at least for transactions.
With all this disaster, the best option is the privacy of the coins, the tendency of people will be anonymity whose transactions are impossible to track, especially the currency that can be bought at a low price and take advantage of young projects.
This video changed my mind towards dark web and security
8:42 One does not "flaunt" the law. The word is "flout," as in "openly disregard."
Great video, well said and explained! Not only criminals need to protect their privacy!
Currently, the main problem I've faced trying is the financial transactions, since every bank and payment service will ask you to pass a KYC, I thought cryptocurrency will solve this problem, but the public design of blockchain made everything opposite :) Now I'm looking anonymous cryptocurrencies, I like Monero the most and DeepOnion, which provides a Tor integration out of the box.
Hope we'll see things changing soon...
I've had thoughts like that and I'm sure many privacy coins are promising...among those Tor based, I prefer DeepOnion because it's a serious proect.
good point for you buddy, i do believe that cryptocurrency can offer a better privacy and anonymity in financial aspects of everyone, just like Stealth Addresses that i used when some one sending me to just additional anonymity feature to keep me anonymous. good thing that DeepOnion have that feature.
for me privacy and anonymity is my freedom,not just to live with self rule👍
Excellent talk.
This is best one I've seen so far
Good luck going dark now that the FBI got rule 41 amended. "The proposed amendments to rule 41 will allow the FBI to obtain rubber stamped warrants to hack into computers around the world, based on a broad and vaguely defined list of reasons. For example, warrants could be issued to hack someone simply because they use tor, or a VPN to protect their privacy or conceal their location. In fact, a warrant may be issued to hack somebody simply because they choose not to share location data with applications on their cell phones." They did it, hurray for the surveillance state.
OMG, that sucks! When are we gonna put our collective foot down...?
Whatever Imtold when everyone wakes up and actually realizes what's slowly starting to happen
Lindsey Duckett - I guess my point was - it started decades ago and it's not what I would call slow anymore. Collectively we've become too lazy and stupid, allowing ourselves to be convinced it's too complicated for us to deal with it - which of course is by design, those of us who are already awake know.
So, I s'pose nothing will change until the economy collapses. Gawd, it's gonna be a shit show!
And outside the US?
Shani LeMeow - From what I understand, this Rule 41 applies to anybody connected to the internet so...yeah, it's my stupid fucking government thinking it can/should police the world.
If you're Israeli being from Jerusalem, I guess you can't say much either...because your government is one of the instigators.
Fist I'd like to say, it's great to see on of my favorite actors, from one of my favorite movies, talking about one of my favorite topics. However.
I absolutely hate the idea that a VPN is a security solution as its pedaled to the public today. That it somehow solves the problem of ISP's spying on your every google search. VPN's abound in today's society but all they do is shift the problem instead of solve it. Let me try and summarize.
A VPN or Virtual Private Network, is a technology that encapsulates/encrypts data between two end points. It needs to be explained that the internet is made up of billions of end points, and your information bounces off as many of them as is needed between you and the physical machine you are communicating to(Safeways website, or your banks, etc.). A VPN protects you from a lot of things because in most of these 'hops' between endpoints you are encrypted. However once you reach your absolute endpoint for the VPN, your data is transmitted in the same way it would have been normally without a VPN. The only difference is that from whatever site or resource you are trying to reach your starting point will be that of the absolute endpoint of your VPN and not your computer. Which the company that you use to gain access to your VPN has full control, and access to, the same way your ISP does over your internet connection. It is improved security in transit, but not in execution...currently.
Between these end points your data is encrypted, it is safe, or a safe as it can be from man in the middle attacks and packet sniffers and the like. The problem with this idea is that all it does is shift the responsibility for the safety of your data from the ISP to the VPN provider. The only person who now has any connection between that data and you, is now the company you pay for the use of a VPN.
A VPN can not be a solution of anonymity or security until there exists a way to utilize VPN in the same way we currently utilize the internet, that is to say an infrastructure change. Even then, the data has to be read at some point, and that point will be where your digital footprint is.
In conclusion. Only with a fully encrypted internet with a VPN connection between each and every absolute endpoint would a VPN be a reasonable solution to security/anonymity, instead of a shifting of responsibility from the ISP to the VPN provider.
....now ask me what I think about 'the cloud'....
James O hi James I don't know if you'll text me back or not but I'm kind of new at the internet you're my fifties and I would really like to know how to get on the dark web if you can help I would love that
How do you feel about the cloud? Lol
i also want to know how u feel about the cloud lol
VPN is as you say pretty bad as peddled. Use your brain and trust no one be sure your VPN is really private. The tech is good only the human criminals is bad.
Use Freenet.
THANK YOU ALEX.
Best TED Talk ever!!!
The only place in the universe where I love the comments, Ted Talks :)
Interesting stuff ... I actually was not even aware of this lol
hhahahahaah it was just funny man.
Are you trolling and disrespecting yourself? lol. But yeah you sound like a quick study and have an open mind. This really is a very important topic and you recognize it even though you haven't heard it before.
EXCELLENT talk !
Wow that was inspiring and the first step iv seen in pushing back against these tech monsters.
It's not that I have something to hide.
I have nothing I want you to see.
