Summary


In this book, we discussed how to access the Dark Web, the who, and the why.

You've seen that it's used for the best of reasons, and the worst...

As with all technology, it's neither good nor evil; it's how the technology is used that makes the difference.

The Dark Web is very similar to the Surface Web. The main difference is the anonymity and privacy, which are more pronounced on the Dark Web.

In this chapter, I tried to show you that the Dark Web can be very beneficial, and that law enforcement is working diligently to protect us, both off and on the Dark Web.

I hope that you see, as I do, the advantages of the Dark Web, rather than its dangers or disadvantages.

Use it, but on your own terms. Use it safely, use it wisely, and ultimately, it should benefit you.

Maybe renaming it to something less ominous might change the perception most people have of it, but as Shakespeare wrote, What's in a name?
