I agree Derek. I was actually avoiding the Dark Web in the early days just because of the name alone. I know that is slightly ignorant on my part but the power of suggestion is just that, powerful.

Absolutely. I was in the same mindset too. Using a negative or mysterious name implies that it's bad or shouldn't be used. When in fact many people around the world use this tool to escape censorship.
The communications giant said that 7.6 million current customers and 65.4 million former customers had their personal information leaked to the dark web approximately two weeks ago, forcing the company to reset the passcodes of current customers. The leak comes three years after a hacker claimed to have breached the company’s system and acquired the records of 73 million customers. AT&T reported that the leaked info was from 2019 and earlier and included names, addresses, phone numbers, and Social Security numbers. The company said it’s conducting an investigation and there was no evidence that its system was breached. No wonder we dislike the name, dark web.
