The first chatbot arrest, but what are the implications?

Imagine the police arresting a bot and releasing it after months of custody and investigation. This is not a scenario from a futurist's blog -- it actually happened in Switzerland last year.

Created by a couple who are both artists, RDS shopped in the wrong places and bought illegal goods on the dark web, also called the "darknet", "deep web," and "darknet markets."
