Darknet

The Darknet refers to parts of the internet that are not indexed by traditional search engines like Google. It uses special software, such as Tor, to allow users to browse anonymously. This privacy attracts both legitimate users, such as activists and journalists operating in repressive regimes, and illegal activities, including the sale of drugs and weapons. While the Darknet provides a platform for free speech, it also poses risks due to its association with criminal behavior. Accessing the Darknet requires specific knowledge and tools, making it distinct from the surface web most people use daily.
