Summary/Abstract: Once the internet changed the world as we knew it. Now the world is changing the internet especially by using the social media. Criticism of Facebook’s privacy policy is on the rise. Now society has overruled their freewheeling ethic, the notion of the internet as an unregulated sphere evaporates and it becomes a battle field in order to gain supremacy over the information flows. Disrupting the immigration dark networks using the social media is one of the latest directions intelligence and police workers are trying to coordinate against the “dark web users”. The term dark network is typically used to refer to groups such as arms traffickers, terrorists, gangs but can be applied to illegal immigration groups as well. The article aims is to provide a general overlook about the immigration and the fight for the supremacy of the “shared information” in the virtual world.
