Simply being on the dark web is not inherently dangerous; however, the average person doesn’t have a need to be on it. There are some use cases for the dark web that aren’t criminal. For example, in some countries with strict governments that prevent access to information online, citizens use the dark web to seek information and share their views freely. The real risk is that your personal information may end up on the dark web. If you protect your data online, you will not need to worry about the dark web.
