Deep Web

The deep web is the part of the internet that is not searchable using search engines like Google and Bing. The deep web is not indexed, and contains content like paywalled websites, private databases and the dark web. The dark web, known for illegal activities, is only a small part of the deep web. The majority of deep web content is noncriminal, such as private email, chat messages and social media messages, and electronic bank and health records.
