The document discusses the differences between the surface web, deep web, and dark web. The surface web that is indexed by search engines is only about 19 TB in size, while the deep web is estimated to be over 7500 TB. To access the deep and dark web, special browsers are needed to mask one's identity and access otherwise hidden parts of the internet. Both legal and illegal activities can be conducted, such as whistleblowing, purchasing illegal goods, and viewing child pornography. While extra precautions are needed, with the right tools and practices anonymity can be maintained.
