The dark web is a specific section of the *deep web that can be accessed only using specific software configurations or authorizations

The name make sense because it's in fact hidden, dark and makes quite a bit of sense, the problem is that dark things do make people quite a bit scared and that was then weaponized

And i say that because i don't want to go against whatever you said but to expand on the (in my opinion, too) simplistic view you shared

*the deep web is that huge chunk of the internet that is not indexed by any search engine

there are onion search engines and directories, and "the dark web" refers to ANY onion site

I am sure i need to use the TOR network to use an onion search engine

Edit: apparently not?

I am sure I need the WWW network to use a search engine

Thanks for the correction! I meant deep web but got the both mixed up.
