What is the right term then?

• Angostura 9y ago
  Difficult to know in this context - what meaning do you think they weed trying to convey, assuming that “designed for illegal use” wasn't it.
  • PaulAJ 9y ago
    How about "secure against spying by governments and criminals".
    • Angostura 9y ago
      So 'highly secure' would be better than darknet
      • meowface 9y ago
        Not quite, because that leaves out the important fact that it doesn't operate over typical networks.

  Who knows? The whole problem is that "darknet" is a label that doesn't mean anything definite, a buzzword but not a term. You may say that a tool/network/protocol is decentralized and/or secure and/or anonymous and/or censorship-resistant and/or routed through Tor and/or doesn't leak identity and/or tamper-resistant and/or has plausible deniability etc etc and all these labels would mean something - "darknet" does not. A "darknet messenger" might tick any set of these boxes, but the meaning is completely different depending on which of these labels apply.

  mesh and distributed networks. unless you think providing Bluetooth is "darknet" .
