ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Darknet

Darknet is a type of internet where websites and other online services are kept secret from most people. It can only be accessed using special software or settings. It's not part of the regular internet we use every day. On the darknet, people can buy illegal items, exchange secrets, and get information that would otherwise be hidden. Because darknet pages are hidden, it's hard for police and other authorities to track what goes on there.
