I hate to be pedantic, but "Deep Web" is the part of the Web that crawlers can't reach, because it's hidden behind POST requests and JS actions[1], and not nefariously. "Dark Web" is the term they're looking for.

- skizm 12y ago> She is holding the lab’s latest delivery of a drug bought from the “deep web,” the clandestine corner of the internet that isn’t reachable by normal search engines... Seems like they used the term correctly.
- shubb 12y agoTrouble is, the academics talking about deep web don't mean a clandestine corner. They more mean private Facebook pages and uncrawlable product catalogues. Stuff that is part of the normal internet though. It's kinda silly semantics now though, most people seem to use it to talk about illicit hidden stuff. It's like saying, that's not a Hoover it's a vacuume cleaner. This particular article is a bit annoying though because the writer is either confused, trolling, or avoiding describing technical specifics for ethical raisins. Best kind of raisin.
