There is enough c&@p on the net as it is ,how much more C''P can the net handle? :)
The Deep Web (also called the Deepnet, the Invisible Web, the Undernet or the hidden Web) is World Wide Web content that is not part of the Surface Web, which is indexable by standard search engines.
It should not be confused with the dark Internet, the computers that can no longer be reached via Internet, or with the distributed filesharing network Darknet, which could be classified as a smaller part of the Deep Web.
Mike Bergman, founder of BrightPlanet, credited with coining the phrase, has said that searching on the Internet today can be compared to dragging a net across the surface of the ocean: a great deal may be caught in the net, but there is a wealth of information that is deep and therefore missed. Most of the Web’s information is buried far down on dynamically generated sites, and standard search engines do not find it. Traditional search engines cannot “see” or retrieve content in the deep Web—those pages do not exist until they are created dynamically as the result of a specific search. The deep Web is several orders of magnitude larger than the surface Web.Estimates based on extrapolations from a study done at University of California, Berkeley in the year 2001, speculate that the deep Web consists of about 7,500 terabytes. More accurate estimates are available for the number of resources in the deep Web: He detected around 300,000 deep web sites in the entire Web in 2004, and, according to Shestakov, around 14,000 deep web sites existed in the Russian part of the Web in 2006
Tha author wants to make readers believe that this is all criminal activity. Think about your own web use at work and at home. Then multiply that by 200. In order for all of that to be criminal activity, the reader has to believe pretty much everyone in the world except them has to be logged into that thing all day trading heroin and child porn with Afghan drug lords, or buying and selling James Bond equipment in our spare time. We just didn't tell the reader.
Thanks for that explanation Joe, makes sense.
“It’s where they get their porn. :(”
Sadly, they don’t need the deep web for that. Just watch commercials on TV for long enough.
