The Dark Web

What exactly is the Dark Web?

This is a secret part of the internet that’s hidden from the current surface web that covers most of the internet’s darkest activities, hence the name. Activities involved in the Dark Web include operating honeypots, drug dealing, strange chatrooms, malware and much more which will all be discussed in this article. This is different from the Deep Web that is part of the internet containing information not indexed by search engines and can be accessed for normal usage without having to index your information on the normal web while browsing it. The Deep Web can be easily accessed and be used legally in countries where censorship is highly recognized, such as China, to bypass such censorship. For example, religious freedom in China is restrictive and their internet is highly censored. Therefore, many Chinese people seek to access content, such as the Bible, over the Deep Web from the Hidden Wiki.
