Not all networks are connected to the Internet.  The ones that are not connected are called "private" networks.  Those that are connected to the Internet with some degree of unrestricted access are considered "public" networks.  Companies may with to have the advantages of having their network connected to the Internet, with restrictions for security purposes.  If an Internet connected network cannot be accessed at all by the general public without applying authentication tokens of a type that prevents automatic indexing then this network is considered to be at a "deeper" layer than typical public networks on the Internet. This has become known as the "deep" web.  Not all networks are connected to the Internet.  The ones that are not connected are called "private" networks.  Those that are connected to the Internet with some degree of unrestricted access are considered "public" networks.  Company owners may wish to have the advantages of having their network connected to the Internet, with restrictions for security purposes.  If an Internet connected network cannot be accessed at all by the general public without applying authentication tokens of a type that prevents automatic indexing then this network is considered to be at a "deeper" layer than typical public networks on the Internet.   Consider restricted networks on the deep web that cannot be automatically searched and indexed by major search engines such as Google but have legitimate or legal content as the majority of the deep web.  Much of these networks are used by companies to share information on a restricted basis with satellite locations, company partners, subscription based users, or other restricted audiences.   Restricted networks on the deep web that cannot be automatically searched and indexed by major search engines such as Google but have legitimate or legal content in addition to the many unknown public networks not yet discovered by indexing services all as the majority of the deep web.  Many of the restricted places are used by companies to share information with satellite locations, company partners, subscription based users, or other restricted audiences.  The rest are just undiscovered Internet networks.The minority of deep web networks that contain illegally distributed intellectual property, copyright media, the sharing of evidence of criminal activity, illegally obtained personal identify information, banned or restricted media, and information on buying or selling illegal material may be the contemporary more common use of the term "dark web."  Access is restricted to these places making up the dark web by the perpetrators in an effort to avoid capture and criminal prosecution.   The minority of deep web networks that contain illegally distributed intellectual property, copyright media, the sharing of evidence of criminal activity, illegally obtained personal identify information, banned or restricted media, and information on buying or selling illegal material may be the contemporary more common use of the term "dark web."  Access is restricted to these places making up the dark web by the perpetrators in an effort to avoid capture and criminal prosecution.  They are either trying to hide on the dark web, or their data exists on the dark web but it has yet to be exposed to the general public.* The general public doesn't find the dark web and therefore does not use it* The tricks and knowledge to find destinations on the dark web is known only to those criminals using it, law enforcement investigating destinations on it, and the technically savvy overly curious seeking to understand, and sometimes expose it.
