Tech Talk - "How Spooky is the Dark Web?"

You've heard the whispers: hidden websites, anonymous users, illegal markets. But what is the dark web, really - and how does it work?

In this illuminating Tech Talk, Dr. Phil Wilkinson takes you on a guided tour beneath the surface of the internet, explaining what the dark web is (and isn’t), how it functions, and what it’s actually used for.

We’ll cover:

• The difference between the surface web, deep web, and dark web
• How dark web sites are accessed (think Tor browsers and .onion domains)
• Common myths vs. real use cases
• Legal and ethical considerations
• Why the dark web exists - and why it matters

Whether you’re curious, cautious, or just looking to understand the hidden corners of the internet, this is your chance to explore it safely and responsibly.
