6 Dark Web Myths Perpetuated by the Mainstream Media

Sandeep Babu is a freelance tech journalist and cybersecurity enthusiast. The dark web has been surrounded by many myths surrounding it. The deep web is a portion of the web that cannot be found using search engines because the content is not indexed by search engines. Not everything on the dark web is illegal, even Facebook has presence on dark web. You should use a good VPN and keep your antivirus updated to add an extra layer of anonymity around you, Babu says. You are more likely to be a victim of cyber-crimes on darknet than the surface net.
