"The program scoured billions of data points, including arrest reports, property records, commercial databases, deep Web searches and the man’s social- media postings."
Does "deep Web searches" mean the program has access to your tor activity? How is that information acquired?
- kragen 11y agoNo, the "deep Web" is things like friends-of-friends Facebook posts, Twitter posts to locked accounts, and friends-locked LiveJournal posts — things that are in some sense "on the web" but that a standard search engine can't find. You're thinking of the "dark Web", which includes things like onion sites. Your confusion is not unusual; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_web https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_web says, "The dark web has often been confused with the deep web, the parts of the web not searched by search engines. This confusion dates to at least 2009."
