"Investigating pizzagate" means "investigating the horrors our elite class inflicts on children", so yes. I totally believe your daughter could have found Frazzledrip in that circumstance. But you cant really call it an accident at that point
The most common way to "get on the dark web" is an app called Tor. It lets you browse the regular web anonymously or go to sites on the dark web. Here is a blurb from Norton antivirus...
"Regular browsers can't access dark web websites. Instead, the dark web uses what's called The Onion Router hidden service protocol. “Tor” servers — derived from “The Onion Router” — are undetectable from search engines and offer users complete anonymity while surfing the web."
So you can see the app itself is named after the communication protocol used by the "dark web". It's the equivalent of driving to the bank in an armored truck but claiming you arent planning to leave with a lot of money.
It could be true but forgive me if I dont believe you
Thanks for this! I forgive you, but believe me when I say I have no desire, so much so, that I won’t even Google “how to access the dark web” lol.
This sounds legit and all, but wouldn’t you still be tracked just by downloading the app?
People who use tor are already on the dark web on purpose. So it's not like "my innocent daughter just magically saw hillary doing terrible things before breakfast".
You literally cannot accidentally get on to the dark web.
It uses direct IP connections outside of web domains, and most use TOR (despite at least one node being compromised) to visit it.
In order to reach those direct IP connections, you have to willfully scrape IPs and stumble on what you're looking for, or be invited directly. Operators within the space may also automatically reject connections from IPs that aren't whitelisted.
Not only can you not access it "by accident", most have no business even doing it because you can get on some serious watch lists if you don't know what you're doing or where you're going, and you don't want to have to tell the federal government at your door why your IP address accessed one of their honey pots.
Nowadays the dark web also has a lot of encryption software that is intended to protect the site and its users.
Note that this is also different than the deep web, which is the vast majority of the internet, can be searched through similar means, but includes things like email addresses and so on -- it just isn't indexed by search engines. You also can't stumble on the deep web by accident.
What she would have stumbled on is probably some sketchy forum linked from somewhere that had said content.
Don't think she lied, think that people don't fully understand what the dark web is -- it is also conflated with the deep web often too, which is also then misinterpreted as just going to page 10 on Google haha

Tor2web is no longer? Onion.to links don't work any more? As always, you need to be careful what the links you click are and where they're taking you to.
That’s impossible, she just downloaded a deep web browser like Tor for presumably other reasons she chose not to disclose. You can’t access the deep web from the surface web

She was lying to you. You can't accidentally get on the dark web.
Course you can. The “dark web” is the “normal” web. Literally web servers.
What makes it “dark” is that they are uncrawled by search engines, often direct IPs to the server hosting the files.
I could email a link to a server file that’s got nofollows on the htaccess and it’d be “dark web”

Not that I want to, but I’ve always wondered how one gets on the dark web. Does it take some sort of trick or a certain search term?

Click on an onion link while using tor? Seems plausible to me...

Well I know non tech people who use the tor browser. They know enough to browse "anonymous" but aren't trying to surf the dark webs...

Bless her heart!
My goodness, this discussion has certainly grown very rude! And, what's the deal with all of the down votes and grammer correction?
We should be above this petty behavior and focus on the mission.
Take care Mary!
