Complicating factors --- Hello, Vlad. There is a complicating factor here. I don't think visiting darkweb marketplaces would be reason enough for a criminal sentencing, but as you put it... It might put you on a few watchlists. I've talked with a cyber forensics specialist from the Brazilian federal police and he shared with me that, not rarely, people who only browsed an illegal marketplace can be caught along with all others because the police might not be able to distinguish who's who. Additionally, there are kinds of criminal content which merit special attention. An unfortunate and foolish user might end up touching on a website that deals with pedophilia, they'll be sent illegal content for the page they're accessing... And even if they didn't save it, child porn was transmitted and it might get noticed somewhere. That's even harder to defend.
