Dark Web (Tor Network)

The Dark Web refers to the portion of the internet that is intentionally hidden and requires specific software, such as the Tor browser, to access. While often associated with illicit activities, it is also a vital tool for journalists, activists, and individuals living under oppressive regimes to communicate anonymously and bypass censorship. It provides a level of privacy that the surface web cannot offer.

However, it is also rife with scams, malware, and illegal marketplaces, making it a dangerous environment for inexperienced users who do not prioritize digital security.
