The dark web can get so dark it is without metaphoric light, and the content might dwell in the depths of the unimaginable.  There are things online that are so dark and disturbing that it can change your very outlook on life.  However, this is the reality of the Internet and whether you coin a specific area of the Internet with the popular term "dark web" or not, the reality is that the Internet contains everything from good to bad.
