Not at all. Tor just allows you to visit websites that are not indexed on the clearweb. Obviously there are places like drug markets and such but you don’t need to visit those if you don’t want. Also, I am speaking from a USA pov, laws might be different in other places in the world.
Ah, thanks. So accessing the deep web is safe enough if you type in the web address?
The danger is in (accidentally) accessing sites that are clearly (or maybe opaquely) ‘criminal’? Or, rather, if the site is safe enough on the clear web, accessing it on the deep web poses no additional dangers?
Yes, that’s the kind of danger I meant, from getting viruses or hacked, etc.
Yeah, there’s no danger as long as you take the same precautions you would using any other browser and visiting any other website. Don’t download weird stuff, don’t input your personal info, etc. Even visiting those “criminal” websites isn’t really a danger if you’re just curiously looking around.
I actually downloaded Neo-Colonialism from Z Library the day before I got shut down.
Z lib is still up on the deep web using Tor.
Is this… dangerous?

Edit: typo and added another question.

Useful to know, thanks.
