Deep Web

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 engines. 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.

Uses

While the Dark Web is usually thought of as a safe haven for criminals and pedophiles, not all uses of the Dark Web are malicious. In countries such as communist China and Myanmar, pro-democracy activists often use the Dark Web to communicate, as the government cannot track their activity on the Dark Web. This allows them to coordinate without being arrested. The Dark Web is most often used for illegal activities. Almost 85% of all activities on the Dark Web revolve around pornography.^{[Citation Needed]}

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.

Access

The best known web browser for accessing the deep web, is the Tor browser. However, other options are also available, such as Brave.
