"Deep web" refers to sites that aren't indexed by search engines. A synonym is "invisible web"
"Darknet" refers to "overlay networks that can only be accessed with specific software, configurations, or authorization, often using non-standard communications protocols and ports." Tor is an example of a darknet. There are many others (someone else mentioned SIPRnet as one).
"Dark Web" refers to websites on a darknet. Dark web, by definition, is part of the deep web. Tor hidden services are part of the dark web.
Rolling Stone is wrong when it says "The Darknet (sometimes called the Dark Web)" that's analogous to saying "The Internet (sometimes called the World Wide Web)."
