Hansa Market, a Dark Web Marketplace, Bans the Sale of Fentanyl
A free market ideology has long been the prevailing ethos on the online markets where drugs and stolen credit cards are for sale.
But a fierce debate has erupted among the operators and users of these markets over whether free markets need some limits.
On Tuesday, one of the largest marketplaces operating on the so-called dark web, Hansa Market, decided to institute new limits by banning the sale of the deadly synthetic opioid known as fentanyl, which has been at the center of the nationwide overdose epidemic. (New York Times, 18.07.2017)
