No, accessing the dark web is not illegal in itself. The dark web refers to websites that are only accessible through anonymous browsing tools such as Tor, and many of these websites contain illegal or unethical content. However, accessing the dark web is not illegal, and many people use it for legitimate purposes, such as protecting their privacy or bypassing censorship. However, engaging in illegal activities on the dark web, such as purchasing illegal drugs or accessing illegal content, is illegal and can result in serious consequences.
