What is the dark web?

The dark web is the section of the internet that is intentionally and securely hidden from view. Although mostly perceived as bad, the dark web allows people to communicate freely in countries where freedom of speech is limited.

Most will say to stay away from the dark web as it is home to many underground, illegal marketplaces. Search engines cannot crawl the dark web. The most commonly used point of access to the dark web is through a Tor network.
