1) The most persistent myth is the "Red Room" livestreams of torture/rape sessions that end in the victim's murder, where people can pay to watch or even bid to type commands for the torturer to execute (the highest bidder wins!). The most famous was the "ISIS Red Room" pictured above, where people could provide torture instructions to captured terrorists.
People have this idea that hostels with webcams exist all over the dark web, but all it takes is an invitation to join. It's ridiculous. They don't exist. They certainly wouldn't exist on Tor. But people are desperate to believe and always come back with, "You can't prove they don't exist, people are crazy, so they must exist." Imagine my eyes rolling here.
2) I don't think many people are fooled by hitman sites anymore, even though the press likes to emphasize the fact that there are sites offering hitman services. But every single one of them has turned out to be a scam, especially Besa Mafia, the one that did the most marketing. Again, you can read about it at the same link above.
3) Exotic Animals People always ask where they can find markets for exotic animals. Illegal trade in exotic animals certainly exists, and some communications and transactions may well take place over Tor, but there aren't any markets like drug markets where you can look at a photo and then put a tiger or ocelot or something like that in your cart and buy it with bitcoin.
SO WHAT HAPPENS ON THE DARK WEB?
1) People buy and sell drugs.
Drug markets are busier than ever. You've probably heard of Silk Road, the most notorious online drug market that was busted a few years ago and its owner sent to prison for two consecutive life sentences. Many people thought that was the end of drug sales on the dark web. In fact, drug sales on the dark web have tripled since Silk Road was shut down.
The reason people buy drugs this way is that for many, it offers a safer alternative for people who will use drugs anyway. There's no risk of violence. The vast majority of the time, a buyer knows exactly what they're getting, thanks to the feedback and rating system. This isn't the case in a nightclub, or even among friends of friends, where you blindly accept that the pill, powder, or tablet is what the seller says it is.
2) People buy and sell other illegal things
They primarily buy and sell stolen credit card and financial information, fake documents (though many of these are scams), personal information, hacked data dumps, and fraud-related items. For a long time, one vendor made a fortune selling fake discount coupons that actually worked.
3) People access and create child pornography . Unlike other marketplaces, the CP market isn't generally about money, but rather groups that exchange vile images and videos for free. The worst of the worst is called "hurtcore." Fortunately, most of the people behind the worst sites have been arrested and imprisoned.
4) People talk about things
There are many websites, forums, and chat rooms where people talk about all sorts of things—conspiracies, aliens, weird stuff. They take advantage of the anonymity.
5) People release information anonymously
Whistleblowers use the dark web to release information and ensure their identities aren't compromised. You'll find WikiLeaks, for example, on the dark web.
6) People surf the web anonymously
The number one reason people use the dark web is simply to browse the web completely anonymously. Not everyone wants to be tracked by advertisers.
