absolute horseshit. when you do research on the deep web, like legit one, not some forum posts or whatever, its not half as bad as anyone makes it to be.
there is quite a lot of information out there how the internet works and to think that one needs so mythical and complicated ways of storing some weird shit in some fucked up URL is pretty far-fetched.
and i am pretty sure that 95% of the gore/rape stuff is fake as fuck. the worst part is probably the CP, but apart from that i cannot see anything criminal or mystical about it
