T he Deep Web:
The area of the internet that is not indexed by search engines is referred to as the Deep Web. It consists of a huge variety of material that is restricted by paywalls, subscription services, or password-protected websites. Private databases, scholarly sources, private commercial intranets, and even personal email accounts can be included in this content.

The Dark Web is home to many communities and forums that facilitate the transmission of information, frequently with a focus on privacy and anonymity, in addition to its unlawful trade. The Dark Web is undoubtedly a haven for illicit and unethical acts, even though not all of its activities are prohibited.
The dark web refers to sites that are not indexed and only accessible via specialized web browsers. Significantly smaller than the tiny surface web, the dark web is considered a part of the deep web. Using our ocean and iceberg visual, the dark web would be the bottom tip of the submerged iceberg.
