[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 71335699, member: 123415"] For the most part yes...at least in my experience with it. Obviously there were the popular sites like "Silk Road" and some websites in the "financial services" section of the "hidden wiki" that claim to sell paypal accounts and credit card accounts, but most (if not all) of those are just scams to convince people to hand over money (via BitCoin) with no outlet for getting reported when they take your money and run. What are people going to do? Call the cops and say "hey, I was trying to buy a stolen paypal account off of this guy on the internet and he ripped me off!" lol Most of what I saw was just, believe it or not, 1) people posting pictures of steam tunnels (because apparently it's popular thing to do to have your own onion site where you sneak into the steam tunnels of your university or place of business and post the pics), 2) poorly indexed pdf book repositories (of stuff that you can easily find on the surface web) 3) people claiming to be leaking "government secrets" with no actual proof that they didn't just make the documents themselves. 4) a few independent news sources like ProPublica and a few others that simply just want to have a "deep web" presence...(it's just a mirror of what their site is on the surface web) Even the few onion search engines you can find house mostly dead links (or links that take up to 5 minutes to load) Basically, it's not the boogeyman people seem to think it is...at least, not any more than the plain old surface web.
