With more people everyday using the Internet and logging on to various illicit sites for their purposes, it's no big secret that there are many cases of people indulging in activities which are against the law by using the dark web to conduct their criminal business. However, is using the dark web links illegal? The simple answer to this question would be yes and no, depending on the site you visit, and the reason why you are visiting that particular site. Although using these links for illegal purposes is against most commonly accepted standards of civilized behavior, it is possible to get into a lot of trouble if you are caught, unlike going online in the real world, where you have the full respect and protection of your government and other institutions online.
