Nicolas Christin, an associate research professor at Carnegie Mellon University, joined us to discuss whether sites like these will be able to thrive on the Dark Web. Plus: We play this week’s Silicon Tally with Doree Shafrir, a senior tech writer at Buzzfeed and author of the book “Startup: A Novel.”
