If you haven't it's kinda scary and great at the same time. The Deep Web is like another internet that you don't have access to, and it's content isn't revealed in Google searches, but software to access it is free. Software is in the form of a Tor, an acronym for The Onion Router,
Originally sponsored by the by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Tor enables online anonymity. The NSA characterized Tor as "[s]till the King of high secure, low latency Internet anonymity". It has a diverse base of financial support: the U.S. State Department, the Broadcasting Board of Governors, and the National Science Foundation are major contributors. As of 2012, 80% of the Tor Project's $2M annual budget comes from the United States government.
When you install the software (which comes with a mandated browser) all you data--including your Web searches--are wrapped in layers of encryption (Like the layers of an onion; TOR was originally an acronym for The Onion Router). Tor sends your data through a network of relays; this hides your location. Tor has 4,000+ relays; then an exit relay connects you to the website you want to visit. Law enforcement can see only the exit realy address, not your address.
Here's the interesting part: Want to hire an assassin? Simple search for hit man for hire. Want to buy cocaine? Just search. Payment is made by Bitcoin, an internet money that you can buy, it it, too, is untraceable. one Bitcoin is woth about $200. Your goods are delivered by mail in a package that looks like junk mail.
You want to avoid getting ripped off, of course. The sellers have reviews like Amazon does.
I'm all for it. The internet is becoming an increasingly uprivate place, and it falls to consumers themselves to say where to dray the line and to take control of their personal information.
