In terms of onion sites and whatnot I've seen drug markets and stuff but never gone looking for CP obviously and gore stuff is around even on Google if you really get off on that
Only just noticed nucleus is dead there goes another £1 that i was too lazy to move
Doesn't happen often eh Joe
I've had to look at dark/deep web stuff a couple of times, the majority of stuff on there is just stuff people want to keep from government eyes and ears so a lot of it is illegal. You're not going to find a darknet BBC site, you're going to find silkroad sites though lol.
Really if it's on there or if you're using the software, you're hiding something that you don't want to be caught with and for most of the time I would say this is an illegal or malicious purpose. There's very little reason to use darknet otherwise, even if you're absolutely anal about privacy people would use a VPN instead of just using darknet sites.
The worst things I've seen on the internet are mostly child abuse stuff, there's really dark and twisted people who enjoy that kind of thing. Essentially if there's a market for it i.e. drugs, guns, human trafficking, terrorism, the darknet would be the first place you start digging about. Normally you won't find much anyway because the URLs are just a jumble of stuff so it's normally people who have a likeminded interest and a real determination to find this type of stuff that are the ones who are on it... so if you're found on it, it's quite easy to say you were determined to get there. :X
It's a horrible place, and not somewhere you should go peeking for the sake of curiosity because curiosity really does kill the cat.
Yeah, I've used tor browser, put in random .onion links and seen where they take me. Never had any malicious intent, was just curious when I was younger. Technically, I first downloaded it to find out about silk road, again - not to buy anything, just out of curiosity.
Seen some pretty horrific things, both on tor and off of tor - having said that, seen equally horrific things through work stuff that would probably make a lot of people sick.
