Question: if I want to become a dark web researcher, how would I go about getting permission to do so without being suspected of being a malfeasant in the DW? Are there any authorities I can preemptively inform? I'm in the US.

Some years ago, Modi announced that he was going to make India go all-in on semiconductors. When I read that the first facility to begin commercial production was going to be Micron with memory chips, I did an eyeroll. Memory chips? And jus
