Why the CIA and 4 Other Organizations Use the Dark Web

Dr. Ibrar Ahmed3 min read

Most people think the dark web is only for crime and harm. It is a tool that can be used both ways. The CIA publishes an onion address on CIA. gov. That opening picture is the official page, not a recorded onion visit. Deutsche Welle is the Tor load this episode recorded, and that picture is a held frame. Mullvad's own post says the onion site is for people facing censorship, so they can reach the website and tools.

Opening it is not the VPN. The Guardian's May 2022 announcement says the onion site has no third-party ads and turns the usual browser scripts off. That is the publisher's statement, not a new measurement of the live onion page. Amnesty publishes an onion address for places where the ordinary site is restricted. The two routes in that section are an illustration, not a recorded visit.

Changing the letter i in Mullvad's address to the number 1 makes an invalid onion address, and it does not match the published one. Five organizations published an address. Only Deutsche Welle's load was recorded in this test.

No markets. No directories. No anonymity guarantees. Narration uses a synthetic voice. The opening motion is generated and labeled on screen. It is not a Tor recording.
