Dark web websites are illegal in many jurisdictions, including the United States. Any site that is accessible only through a Tor network is considered to be on the dark web. This means that the site is not accessible through regular internet browsers and can only be accessed using the Tor browser. Using a Tor browser can be a way to access hidden websites that are not ordinarily available to the general public. However, using a Tor browser to access a dark web website can be a violation of the law. Operating a dark web website can be a criminal offense in many jurisdictions, and using a Tor browser to access the site can make the site even more difficult to authorities. It is important to be aware of the legal risks involved in using a Tor browser to access dark web websites. If you are uncertain about the legality of a specific website, it is best to avoid using a Tor browser to access it.
