Tor and the Deepnet: What price does society pay for anonymity? | Libertés Numériques | Scoop.it

There is a lot more to the web than that which immediately meets the eye.In fact, the "visible" layer of the web that you and I can easily access via popular search engines is only part of the story.

Hidden on the net is online content which is not so easily accessed, known as the Deepnet (also sometimes called Darknet, the Deep Web or Hidden Web).

Whilst a lot of this content consists merely of websites not indexed by search engines and only accessed by a handful of people, some parts of it are hidden a lot deeper. A part of the Deepnet is accessed through the anonymity network known as Tor.
