Dark web

The dark web is part of the deep web, accessible only through certain search engines designed to ensure anonymity. The dark web is a hotbed of illegal activity: drugs, weapons, child sexual abuse materials, politically sensitive information, and even human beings have been sold on the dark web. However, because of its anonymous nature, the dark web can also be used for legitimate purposes such as communications among people living in oppressive regimes; communications with journalists; and as a means of circumventing censorship.
