Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat… We are all familiar with these examples of social networks where millions of users share information. As we know, this information is recorded for later use on the same platforms, for example to offer targeted advertising based on a sophisticated set of criteria. But, precisely for this reason, there is also a growing number of users who decide to use alternative social networks on the Deep Web . This way, their information is not recorded and they can speak with complete freedom of expression even if they do so from countries where there is censorship. It is also a safe way to discuss or consult on topics that are prohibited on the Clear Web, for example about information that is hidden from the general public.

Preliminary steps for using Deep Web social networks
It should be noted that, although these alternative networks are gaining more and more strength, it is advisable to adopt at least some basic precautionary measures when entering them, for example not enabling the execution of JavaScript. It is also advisable to make rational use of these networks.

Regardless of the mechanisms we use to enter the Deep Web, the only thing we need to access the different social networks is a MailTor or TorBox , that is, anonymized email accounts; or use an Onion Mail, that is, an anonymized and encrypted email account with the possibility of communicating with the Clear Web. It is recommended not to bulk sms india provide real data or data that allow us to be identified by any mechanism.

Alternative social networks
We all know Facebook, the world's number one social network with more than two billion active users per month (and, every second while you read this article, there will surely be more), but we also know its Russian clone Vkontakte (VK). And the same thing happens on the Deep Web, where the world's largest social network also has its clones. We are referring here to Torbook (a play on words between the Tor browser and the Facebook network) or to the BlackBox network .

Both social networks share information without censorship (with the exception of child pornography) or registration. There is such freedom of expression and access to information that any user of these networks could see the content we publish without being part of our contacts, unless we want certain pages to be private for a small group of contacts. Also, both networks offer the possibility of purchasing, the same as would occur with the fcommerce of Zuckerberg's network, with the exception that the payment for said products or services would be made through the Bitcoin cryptocurrency . Although it may seem that these social networks are aimed at a small audience, they are growing quickly and the first platform mentioned (Torbook) already has millions of users.
