  3. NOO. The dark web and deep web are two DIFFERENT things. Deep web is anything that a SEARCH ENGINE cant access.. like someones website that hasnt been catalogued by a search engine or submitted to one yet – you can still get there via other sites or using the address directly. Dark web only includes sites that have been intentionally hidden and CANNOT be accessed by usual web browsers at all. Geez BI. D: terrible reporting!
