Deep Web

The web was never really needed to commit crime. Perhaps the web, like a scalpel, may be used to save a life or to end it. There was a time when just being aware of the existence of the Deep Web was limited to few people. That made it more likely to be used with illegal intentions. The branch dedicated to illegal activity was named the Darknet, and it was just a small part of the Deep Web anyways. Now we know that things have changed, and those who are approaching the Deep Web concept for the first time, should not follow everything they hear. Much of the data comes from that study of the University of Berkeley in 2001, and has been distorted several times, like a story that is told from generation to generation, until someone decides to turn it into a book. The Deep Web can generate confusion; discover the myths and facts hidden in the depths of the great virtual iceberg.



Sociologist, member of the research group on digital culture and network theory, he worked as a columnist for several newspapers. He currently lectures in different European countries, Canada and the United States.
