The
Dark Web is a part of the internet that can only be accessed by something called a Tor Network. It is commonly confused with the Deep Web, which is just the part of the internet that can't be indexed by
google (edit profile pages, etc.)
It is also commonly confused to be one of the darkest places in the world, full of crime and illegal things everywhere. That's actually not true. The
Dark Web is just 4% of the internet that can't be accessed by regular web browsers. And also, only about 30% of the things on there are illegal. It's mostly just for people who want to be anonymous from the tracking networks that
Google/facebook etc. have. Like for instance, Facebook has its own
Dark Web address.
Unlike the media portrays it, the
Dark Web isn't a bad place. It's just for people who want to be anonymous in the world of websites and ads tracking everything you do.
But you still might not want to go there. The things that ARE on there can be scary. Child porn, dead body porn, assassination lotteries, red room tickets (you
don't want to know what that is), bitcoin fraud, and everything else is fairly common. I
don't go to any of these websites, and if you
don't want to have to bleach your eyes in
prison then I suggest you
don't either.
Also, if you do want to access the
Dark Web, then I suggest you get a VPN to mask your IP address, unplug all microphones, cameras, speakers, and printers, go there on a Virtual Machine(preferably with TailsOS), and don't do illegal things.
