Dark Web News

📰 What is Dark Web News?

Dark web news refers to news content that is published, discussed, or discovered within the dark web—a hidden part of the internet that requires specialized tools (like the Tor browser) to access. This news often covers topics ignored, censored, or suppressed on the surface web, and it may originate from independent journalists, whistleblowers, or underground communities.

🌐 Why the Dark Web Hosts News?

The dark web provides anonymity and censorship resistance, making it a safe space for:

• Whistleblowers to leak information without revealing their identity
• Journalists to protect sources in authoritarian countries
• Readers to access news that is banned or filtered in their region
• Hacktivists to reveal corruption, surveillance, or hidden data

🧭 Where to Find News on the Dark Web

To read or explore dark web news, you’ll need the Tor Browser and some reliable .onion links.
