Rather let’s appropriate the media description and acknowledge that the dark web is the part of the web that involves the use of strong encryption and potentially privacy maybe even anonymity. Hence there’s no point in trying to shift the meaning of the dark web back to its search engine centric origins.
When it comes to language, you have to pick your battles, what with it being a virus and all. It went from being a description of how search engines govern the Internet, to a smokey and mysterious part of our society that is and should remain impenetrable.
