The disclaimer didn't make it clear (I thought it would just be showing hostnames), but this map shows screenshots of hidden service home pages.

So it's probably wise not to look closely at too many.



> Each site is represented in the map as a screenshot,

and

> The Dark Web Map contains uncensored content from thousands of dark web sites.

You thought the (onion) hostnames would be considered uncensored content? and that this required a disclaimer?

and

> These sites include mature and/or offensive content, including pornography, violence, and racism.

and

> By clicking the "Accept" button, you are affirming that you are at least 18 years old and accept all responsibility for viewing this content.


Why on earth would they think posting uncensored screenshots from the dark web would be a good idea? When browsing the dark web you should always be going in with images turned off, before you run into child porn at work and end up in prison.


Because it's the only reason the project is somewhat interesting.


They say they removed a small number, I’d like to know how many, because scanning over quickly I didn’t see even remotely as much porn as I expected. This is a scan of front pages, but still.


You can't track people via tor so why spend a lot of bandwidth? There aren't many altruistic people in the tor sphere.
