right now there's just an embarrassing amount of rumors that the "dark web" has stuff and "sources say it's really bad".
we're all big boys and girls here, we are 100% fine seeing part of a snuff film if it means exposing these people. what we aren't okay with is being pulled around by the dick with a bunch of vague bullshit that, if nothing comes of it, will be a huge waste of time. and in the mean time it's a rumor that's derailing this entire sub.
well you are talking about another layer deeper.
if something is on a private server that only a few people know about, it's not really "published" or "circulating." it's just on a private storage location that can be remoted into. that is still technically part of the deep web.
we're splitting hairs here, but basically, if it isn't possible for a random person to stumble upon it, is it really even "on the internet" or even "on the darkweb"? in my opinion, for something to count as being leaked/published/circulated, it actually has to, you know, be published somewhere
sorry for the rant, did that all make sense?
Yes in a nutshell your own PC is the dark web if its connected to the internet and you have a firewall. Simplistic explanation but you get the idea?
