The dark web isn’t just a myth; it provides strong anonymity that supports both legitimate activities (such as secure communication for journalists and privacy-focused users) and, unfortunately, illegal activities like illicit marketplaces and cybercrime. Understanding the difference between the surface web, deep web, and dark web is key for readers to grasp why cybersecurity awareness and safe browsing practices are essential in today’s digital world.
