11. The dark web is a part of the internet that is not easily accessible
and is often associated with illegal activities. While it does have
legitimate uses, individuals who use the dark web for illegal
purposes can face severe legal consequences. Law enforcement
agencies around the world are working to combat criminal activity
on the dark web, but the anonymous nature of the network makes it
challenging to identify and prosecute those involved. It is important
for individuals to be aware of the risks associated with the dark web
and to take steps to protect themselves online.
