- Abstract
The article focuses on the marketing mechanisms of Dark Web drug trade and analyses the methods used by vendors to convince customers about the quality of their products. The study concludes that the four main elements on which the marketing speech is based are quality, effects of drugs, price, and persuasiveness of the vendor, and that by understanding the mechanisms used in illicit communication on the Dark Web, we gain a new perspective on information sharing that requires anonymity.
