If this is not your first time you come across the Deep Web or the Dark Web more specifically or have a slight idea, then you surely might be questioning yourself: is the Dark Web illegal?
As I have talked about the difference between the Deep Web and the Dark Web in a previous article and I mentioned the way how to get it into the Deep Web. so I am going to be answering the question here: is it legal to surf the Deep Web?
To answer this question, let us first get to understand again what the Deep Web is. When you get on Google, you run a search to look up for certain information, you're actually surfing the shallow or the surface web. Google has those indexed web pages (which we are surfing every day) in its algorithm and they could be a potential search result.
On the other hand, the Deep Web is the unindexed portion of the internet. It's all of that information which people put online that doesn't run through Google or other search engines, such as Bing and Yandex, cannot see by crawling and fetching them.
In fact, the vast majority of information online is found on the Deep Web.
Just because the information is uncharted or unmapped does not mean there is something illegal about it. To give you an example, if you were to get on the Clark County recorder's website and you wanted to search recorded documents associated with a certain parcel number or were you to get to the Clark County assessor site or the Clark County District Court website and you wanted to search different cases, you will find none of that is actually indexed.
In order to find all those information, you cannot go to Google or any other search engine, you rather have to go through the portal on the respective websites.
Consequently, all that public unrestricted data is unindexed and therefore as a part of the Deep Web. Nevertheless, there's absolutely nothing wrong with searching for that particular information. The question really is: what is it that you are looking for on the Deep Web.
To sum up, the answer depends on what the actual behaviour is. As long as the surfing is safe and not involved in any of the above mentioned illegal activities, then browsing the Deep Web Internet itself is perfectly legal.

Is The Dark Web Illegal?
Unquestionably, there are several illegal activities going on beneath the radar of what is indexed on the surface web. Therefore, yes it is legal to surf the Deep Web or the Invisible Web. It would not make sense that looking for unindexed information in the Deep Web is illegal, there is nothing wrong and no harm in doing so. What truly matters is, what would you be doing on the Deep Web. As you may know that some of the illegal activities are hiring a contract killer, buying drugs, requesting counterfeit documents, purchase stolen PayPal accounts, hire a hacker, pay to watch real people being severely tortured, buy child pornography and pedo videos, for instance. That would definitely be illegal.To sum up, the answer depends on what the actual behaviour is. As long as the surfing is safe and not involved in any of the above mentioned illegal activities, then browsing the Deep Web Internet itself is perfectly legal.
