The Dark Web, also known as the Deep Web, is a subsection of the [[World Wide Web]] that is not accessible through normal search queries through search engines such as [[Google]] and [[Mozilla Firefox]]. The Dark Web is most often associated with [[illegal]] activity such as [[drug]] trade and guns-for-hire.
The '''Deep Web''', also known as the Dark Web, is a subsection of the [[World Wide Web]] that is not accessible through normal search queries through [[Search engine]]s. In pop culture, the Deep Web is most often associated with [[illegal]] activity such as [[drug]] trade and guns-for-hire. However, it has many legitimate uses as well.

== Origin ==
The Dark Web was originally created as a way for the [[U.S. Navy]] to communicate in [[secret]], without anyone knowing who was communicating. But, they found that this doesn't work unless there are more people [[online]], because if the [[U.S. Navy]] are the only ones using this, then it is not a [[secret]]. So, they opened the Dark Web up to the [[public]].

The [[FBI]], [[CIA]], and other [[U.S. government]] agencies have used the Dark Web to find criminals and arrest them. Editor's note: References?? Some criminals using the dark web have been caught by law enforcement, but I don't see how that counts as "government use" of Tor.-->
