What is the Deep Web?

The deep web is a subset of the internet that's not indexed by standard search engines. It includes pages that don't appear in search results, fee-for-service sites and private databases. It's also used to store private information that can't be accessed by Google or other surface web search engines, such as password-protected email accounts and parts of paid subscription services like Netflix. How the deep web works

The first type of content stored on the deep web is information that's not indexed by surface web search engines. These include photos, videos, research papers and medical records that haven't been linked to other pages or are dynamically generated. These websites are often hidden away from public view, making it difficult for law enforcement to track them down. It's also a place where whistleblowers and activists can go to share their stories and defend themselves without fear of reprisal from governments or the corporations that hold their personal data. What's more, it's a place where people can host websites anonymously to protect their privacy in an age when background checkers and governments have access to a wealth of personal data on all of us. The deep web is growing, and as long as there's a need for users to browse the internet privately and safely, it will continue to grow. It's a great way to fight censorship, but it can also be used for illegal activities such as phishing and scams.
