91. Its basically a section of the internet where nobody can trace each other

When I go to DU, they know my IP address. With a search warrant, they can find out where I live, down to my exact street address.

I can also find out the IP address of DU. Its 216.158.28.198. I can tell you their server I'm hitting now is in Pennsylvania.

On the dark web, you can be 100% anonymous, on both the server side and user side, so anything can be posted (yes there can be flaws in security, but if done right its untraceable. Therefore a lot of sites there deal with drugs, other illegal things, etc. (and some may be for free speech in places where is is otherwise banned, like in China. Although it would probably be a lot easier to host a site like that in the US, where US law would protect it. China would block it, but that is easy to get around.

Any website for the dark web ends in the prefix .onion. But don't worry, since your browser wouldn't know how to handle the request, so without the correct browser, you can not access the dark web anyway.

If you were interested, you could get to the dark web in 10 minutes, but its kind of a scary place, and not for amateurs.
