Fingon Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Web It's basically the wild west of the internet. It's all the information that is not used by search engines, and is many times larger than the "normal" internet. If you google "Hidden Wiki" it will come up with lists of a bunch of different categories. WARNING: DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINKS Many of the sites on the "deep web" are highly illegal. In fact, the front page of the Hidden Wiki links to: child porn, drug trafficking sites, assassin for hire sites, anonymous banking, and other illegal ****. You can find a picture of it here: Edit: If you google it, don't click Hard Candy. Edited June 2, 2011 by Fingon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Tate Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 The Deep Web is just all the sites that are not listed with a search engine. Like the internet used to be before search engines - if you didn't know where you were going, you couldn't find it. Are some sites purposely not registered with a search engine? Probably so. Is there any information I want that I can't find through a traditional search engine? Nope. Not going on any treasure hunts. The internet before search engines sucked.

You could have been a little more subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingon Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 So you link to a reddit page that tells you how you can access all this illegal **** without consequence. You could have been a little more subtle. The deep web is 91,000 terabytes, while the surface web is 157 terabytes. The vast majority of it is perfectly legal. The fact is that you need TOR to access it, and it is information anyone who did a simple google search would stumble upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
