- How to use some of the basic dark web tools including TOR and I2P
- Understand how the dark web works, and how it creates privacy
- Discuss some of the recent changes to net neutrality, and how the dark web can be used to combat it
- How it can be used in your library - including the benefits and challenges you might face
