The dark web is a specific section of the *deep web that can be accessed only using specific software configurations or authorizations
The name make sense because it’s in fact hidden, dark and makes quite a bit of sense, the problem is that dark things do make people quite a bit scared and that was then weaponized
And i say that because i don’t want to go against whatever you said but to expand on the (in my opinion, too) simplistic view you shared
*the deep web is that huge chunk of the internet that is not indexed by any search engine

there are onion search engines and directories, and “the dark web” refers to ANY onion site
I am sure i need to use the TOR network to use an onion search engine
Edit: apparently what i said is wrong
I am sure I need the WWW network to use a search engine

I mean, it is definitely not just that
