The Dark Web vs The Hype

The truth is stranger and more mundane. The dark web is a small corner of the internet reached through tools like Tor, which was originally developed with US Navy backing. It's where Silk Road built a drug empire before the FBI took it down, and where scammers get rich selling fake murder services to people who believe the legends. It's also where the BBC and the New York Times run hidden sites so people in censored countries can read the news.

Tonight, we separate the creepypasta from the criminal cases, and what's just hype from what's really lurking down there.
