Many elements, therefore, let this sound at least questionable. Which is more and more committed to putting across a well-known message: you can totally trust in the safety of what you’re doing, if you surf the internet only looking for ”normal” websites and you got a set of classic software and technologies such as antivirus, anti-malware, firewall and so on. Obviously this defines by opposition also the “surface” or “ordinary” web.Īnd, at second, what is the argument that in most of the cases has made following? Just that the DW is huge, obscure and dangerous: riding the metaphor of the deep ocean and in full coherence with a great deal of web business rhetoric. It could also be, frankly speaking, that the current Internet we all are used to, doesn’t sound to me any better than its Nineties version. Even the impression that who condemned without hesitation the whole DW based his judgement only on a quick tour and a few quotations sometimes partially understood played a role.Īnyway, in this article, I decided to try to do a different reflection on the DW, with the main aim to understand how great is really and what could we lose, continuing to ignore it.Ģ – Deep Web and Surface Web in some alternative interpretationsįirst of all, what is the DW? It’s easy, said a lot of reviewers (almost always basing on a Bright Planet report for NDS, dated 2001): it’s anything that cannot be indexed by usual search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo etc.
Or it can be that several arguments in many cited posts show contradictions. Probably, it’s because that I didn’t ever like any ‘for dummies’ guide. A lot of reviewers are quite sure: among them, names such as Wired, Le Iene, Repubblica. Would you like your checking account to become empty? Aren’t you afraid that someone could spy on you? Or, from bad to worse that the police burst into your flat and arrest you like in American crime movie? If you aren’t chasing things like that, you’d rather stay in your daily sandbox made of Google, Facebook and so on.
Many internet posts haven’t any doubt: the so-called Deep Web (DW) is definitely a bad place. 1 – Deep Web: many reviewers ….but how many users?
