As far as I can tell, darkweb has no actual meaning anymore anyway.
I saw an article recently claiming that something like 80% of people under 30 access the dark web at least once a week. 80% of under-30s use Tor? Seems highly unlikely.
- kjkjadksj 2y agoMy understanding is it merely meant sites not indexed by search engines. Your employers internal websites or the sites for your college coursework would count.
- sidewndr46 2y agoDon't forget bit torrent. There are teenagers out there committing several world GDP worth of piracy on the daily if you believe the entertainment industry

- gsk22 2y agoSurely Discord can't be counted as dark web? It's not web at all.
- wizzwizz4 2y agoSure it is. I open my web browser, and Discord is in it.
- progmetaldev 2y agoIt's definitely hidden behind a login, and is often the source of many controversies including underage users, where it's easier for predators to groom and prey upon these kids. Trying to figure out a label such as "dark web" is less about the actual definition, and more about the intention behind the technology (IMO, of course).
