- Shish2k 11y agoAre you not thinking of "dark web"? I see that a lot, but I've not seen "deep web" used by the media at all (though I won't deny that the media misusing technical words is entirely believable...)
- mintplant 11y ago"Dark Web" is indeed the proper term, but it's been conflated with "Deep Web" in the media. See the section "Terminology conflation" in that Wikipedia article.
