Who in the world uses an app, on a phone, downloaded from the Google store, and expects to be anonymous?

About the only good use I can think of for the dark web/telegram/etc. is for political dissidents in totalitarian countries/dictatorships/etc. to obtain information from the rest of the world and to send information that is suppressed in their country. Really, that's about it.

seems weird there's so much on the dark web, but it's supposedly secret.

Probably 15+ years ago. You get there by installing an app, on a PC preferably, called Tor, or the Tor browser. Only (legit/safe) way you can access it. Think they have a mobile app, but not sure.

Oddly, almost all major news websites have a presence there. You can submit tips anonymously to the NYT I know.

Apparently, their 'webs' are still white.

Heard from a friend, of course.
