The Dark Web is a part of the internet that can only be accessed by something called a Tor Network. It is commonly confused with
the Deep Web, which is just the part of the internet that can't be indexed by google (edit profile pages, etc.)
It is also commonly confused to be one of the darkest places in the world, full of crime and illegal things everywhere. That's actually not true. The Dark Web is just 4% of the internet that can't be accessed by regular web browsers. And also, only about 30% of the things on there are illegal. It's mostly just for people who want to be anonymous from the tracking networks that Google/facebook etc. have. Like for instance, Facebook has its own Dark Web address.
Unlike the media portrays it,
the Dark Web isn't a bad place. It's just for people who want to be anonymous in the world of websites and ads tracking everything you do.
But you still might not want to go there. The things that ARE on there can be scary. Child porn, dead body porn, assassination lotteries,
red room tickets (you don't want to know what that is), bitcoin fraud, and everything else is fairly common. I don't go to any of these websites, and if you don't want to have to bleach your eyes in prison then I suggest you don't either.
Also, if you do want to access the Dark Web, then I suggest you get a
VPN to mask your IP address,
unplug all microphones, cameras, speakers, and printers, go there on a
Virtual Machine(preferably with TailsOS), and don't do illegal things.
