People died from overdoses not to mention lots more ruined lives. I get you like the idea of drugs that are safer to order but that does not make it a good thing.

Also lots of child pornography, murder for hire, human trafficking, and all kinds of other shitty things took place. So yeah, not exactly a good thing.

Silk Road did not offer child pornography, weapons, people or hitman services. Ross Ulbricht did not hire a hitman to kill his roommate. He was framed by the FBI and the roommate was coerced into helping stage the murder. The roommate later appologized and tried to get Ulbricht out of prison. Don't believe all the propaganda. Drugs are dangerous, but law inforcement is always more dangerous.

Only 70% of purchases were drug related. I find it fascinating people triy to defend this garbage human being. Did he purposely offer hitman, weapons, and CP? Perhaps not, but there is no doubt these things took place on this site as they take place on every site. The difference is of course he profited from these interactions taking a cut of drugs and "other" services.

I get it though, law enforcement is worse than the drug dealer that got your little sister hooked on fentanyl leading to her death.

People die from overdoses every day without the Silk Road so I don’t know where you get off making that argument.

And in what world is safer drugs NOT a good thing?

And I’m pretty sure every social media service has had problems with everything you listed at the bottom.

When someone facilitates the selling of illicit unregulated substances that cause the death of others they are often held responsible. Pretty sure that's how it is supposed to work.

I get it, you want to have an illegal unregulated illicit drug market and you don't care who it harms. Pretty sure that makes you a POS unless I am missing something.
