The Dark Web, also considered the Deep Web, is a hidden part of the internet which is undetected by search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, Etc. The dark web not accessible without special browsers. The Dark web is estimated to be 4,000–5,000 times larger than the web that everybody knows about. (Finklea 2015) Although the Dark Web is good for being anonymous, the dark web is being used by too many people for illegal issues.

But why do people want to go on the Dark Web? People go on the Dark Web for two reasons: to do illegal things without getting caught, and just for privacy. As of 2014, every person on the internet is being tacked in some way. They use information such as cookies, search engines, and download managers. (Henderson 2012) Although it is unusual to be getting tracked, as long as a person is not doing anything they should not be doing then they will be fine. With being anonymous, it might make a person curios. Just being allowed to be on the Dark Web puts people in danger of being part of illegal …show more content…
With porn being everywhere on the “visible web”, it is not a surprised that porn gets a lot crazier on the Dark Web. Child pornography is a sad, but some child molesters love it and would pay a lot of money for it. Over 50,000 people use the dark web for child pornography. Since everyone is anonymous, it is hard to catch people in the act. Many people use the dark web because it is so easy to not get caught.
Conclusion

People should not use the Dark Web because it is way too easily accessible, the government uses it for many reasons, and because of all the illegal activities that go on. If the Dark Web was shut down, then a decline in drugs, guns, and prostitution will be seen. The Dark Web should only be used by the government, not the everyday
A son who kills his own father, marries his own mother, and is both the father and brother of his mother’s children. Oedipus, meaning “swollen foot”, grows up with adopted parents and a brooding prophecy on his heels. The frightful tale of Oedipus and his indescribable fate play out in the Greek theatrical production of Oedipus Rex. The horrible destiny for Oedipus is inevitable due to the unfavorable traits given to him by the author, Sophocles. Throughout Oedipus Rex, Sophocles masterfully weaves Oedipus’ fatal traits of naiveté, arrogance, and curiosity into the intriguing plot.

One shining example of the dark side of the net is known as the “deep web.” Charlie Fripp of IT News Africa writes that the deep web is “a collection of webpages that are not indexed by search engines, or content that is not part of the Surface Web.” The deep web is said to be many hundreds of times bigger than the surface web, or the web that we can normally access at any given time. To access the deep web, you need client side programs, like Freenet or the Tor Browser. Currently, the program with the most exposure would have to be the Tor browser – but not for any good reasons at all.
Everyone online is just as human as they are offline. This means, they are still capable of using the web as a way to harm and trick others just as they would to be kind and help. “The number of identity theft incidents has reached 9.9 million a year”, according to the Federal Trade Commission. People are able to hack into your computer or information in order to use your credit card, take money out of your accounts, gain, use, or even sell all of your information, and much more. People also can pretend to be someone they are not. It is dangerous because you could think it was your friend but really they want to hurt you.
Internet a bad name. There is also information on the Net that could be harmful
With over 759 million registered domain names, the Internet has proved to be the definitive source of information (Hunter). Covering a full spectrum of subjects and services, it is an entity that we can not do without. However, despite all this usefulness, more than 14 percent of all websites are dedicated to pornography (Ward). To further worsen the matter, more than 13 percent of all searches made daily are
Of course like any good thing, the Internet comes with its ups and downs. There are several things that aren’t suitable for any child on the internet, such as pornography, violent material, adult c...
First, the internet has put many lives in danger from kids, to adults. The internet is a place where many killers hide themselves in. Many adults and teenagers never know who is hiding behind the internet. Many people chat on the internet to meet someone but
It used to be almost impossible for children to get pornography. Comer stores would place adult magazines such as playboy on the top rack behind all the other magazines so that only the title was visible and it was out of reach of children. Movie stores would have separate rooms at the front of the store for their porn videos; this way they could monitor who went into the room. In today's technologically advanced society, pornographic magazines and videos are becoming extinct. Computer users can easily search for sex sites, with millions and millions or results. All it talks is the click of the mouse and children can visit any site they want. There is know way for Internet sites to monitor who is on there site, if you click the button that says your over 18 they let you in, so a 15 year old can easily get on to the site. Pornographic websites also place other moral and social problems not just on underage teenagers but on adults as well.
The Internet is a connection of computers across the world through a network. Its origin dates back to the 1960s when the U.S Military used it for research, but it became more available to the public from the late 1980s. The World Wide Web was created in 1989 and browsers began appearing in the early 1990s. Over the last 24 years, the Internet has enabled people to shop, play, do research, communicate and conduct business online. It has also become cheaper and faster in performing different tasks. As much as the Internet has done immeasurable good to society, it has also dominated people’s lives and brought with it an array of cybercrimes. According to Nicholas Carr in his book The Shallows: How the Internet is Changing the Way we Think, Read and Remember (Carr, 2010). He debates on whether the Internet has done more harm than good. People use the Internet daily to exchange accurate information and constantly personal data such as credit cards, passwords and Social Security numbers are travelling through the network from one computer to another. With security measures put in place on the Internet, personal information remains confidential. But unfortunately, criminals have adapted to innovations in technology, and today, more people are increasingly becoming victims of cybercrime. The Internet has had profound effects on the public, both positive and negative. In this paper we will examine how access to personal information has led to an increase in online and offline crimes. The essay will particularly focus on ecommerce and hacking.
Many children have access to the internet and are able to search up anything on Google. As with any type of media, there are positive effects and negative effects. Some of the negative effects of the internet for children are that ,since, children and adolescents are more or less technologically savvy than their parents, they are able to search about just about anything and and talk to just about anyone on the internet, this can lead to some very dangerous situations. According to the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, “89% of adolescents report using a computer, 61% report “surfing the net,” and 14% report seeing something that they do not want their parents to know about.” (Villani, 2001) 14% of adolescents reported seeing something that they did not want their parents to know about, this shows how unsupervised the internet is and shows how the internet can lead adolescents to become secretive and , maybe, even violent. Again, this leads to deviant behavior that the child learned from the internet. In addition, according to the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, “... a profile of the recent school killers, noted that almost all were computer-savvy and frequented sites where they could obtain violent, anarchist-oriented material.” (Villani, 2001) This shows that websites that have violent material on the
The internet as we all know is probably the most useful resource known to man in this day of age. Not only is the internet easy to access its easy to use. Nearly everyone owns a computer and nearly all of which have access to the internet. But isn't that a good thing? Millions of people having the ability to access and share all the information anybody could ever want.
The era of computers and technology has begun. Without computers in this day in age something’s would not even be possible. Although, technology has advanced our uses in society and race as a whole everyday life it also has created many issues. One of the biggest issues is system privacy. There are many things that threaten our safety online. For instance, have you ever sat down in your favorite café, or bookstore and surfed the web. Many of us have, but not all of us know the threat of something so innocent can be if your information gets in the wrong hands while out in public.
A major threat to the people who use the internet, especially children, is the sex industry. It is very hard to ignore as there are thousands of sites of which many have very unobvious site names. This makes it very easy for children to access accidentally sites which are very inappropriate and can have great harmful effects on a young childs very impressionable mind. It is not acceptable for a young person to be exposed to the intimate world of adult pornography which can include anything from child porn to bestiality. Fortunately y...
There are a lot of people in this world that uses computers and the internet all day, everyday. A lot of us use it at school, at work, and even at home. Computers have made our whole life easier and has brought plenty of benefits to society and plenty of problems like cybercrimes. The internet seem like a type of community of computer networks, however you could consider it a society. There is education, commerce, entertainment (good and bad), and there is crime, cybercrime. Cybercrime is impossible without the use of the internet. Real life society has police and laws to regulate people actions, unfortunately right now the internet is missing this type of control.
