The Deep web is a really fascinating place and sometimes I love to explore it. According to statistics, only about 4 percent of the internet can be indexed by search engines. The rest is hidden in the dark alleys of the internet and can be accessed by special browsers like Tor+VPN (which protects your data).
It is very important to protect yourself in the Deep wild web, there are data addicts and black hats sniffing for exploits in the Dark web. I personally browse the Deep web through a virtual OS(tails) with my USB drive "better safe than sorry".
With the news of repealing Net-neutrality by the FCC, the Dark web has been buzzing a lot lately. It's no surprise because most visitors of the Deep web are very conscious of their privacy and hate government or private corporations interfering with their access to the internet.
I decided to do some searches on steemit keyword and see what people on the Deep web are saying about steemit, after eavesdropping on some forums, I found out that most visitors on the Deep web love steemit, it's no surprise because crypto is the currency of the Dark web.
For example, The site screenshotted below is very happy about the steemit platform being ads free and giving authors an incentive to create content through cryptocurrency.
Although some Deep websites are still skeptical about the privacy provided by steemit, like this one below;
This site is selling anonymous steemit account in exchange for BTC, LTC or STEEM.
They believe that steemit doesn't offer full privacy because steemit collects our Email, Phone-number, and Facebook. The site claims to offer full privacy.
I knew it was only a matter of time before a market for steemit arises on the Deep web, which makes me wonder how many anonymous steemit accounts are already on steemit.
