This "nice try, x" somehow never gets old for me :D

On topic: I mostly use the deep web (as in, databases not accessible to the public / indexed by normal search engines) for educational purposes. By which I actually don't mean porn, but information needed for sociological work.

Darkweb: I see many good reasons to use a service like Tor, even if you aren't actually breaking any laws. Trouble is, I currently don't trust a single one of those services not to be heavily backdoored / compromised / general snakeoil.
