It seems like more and more discussions are only available on the deep web, so they're not indexed by Google and ultimately irretrievable. What we'll be left with is ultimately a shallow surface web, filled with misinformation and the occasional non-anonymous post, but a rich, goldmine in the deep web that's only accessible to those that have access to it.

The internet is slowly becoming closed off, and it's haunting to think that it'll never be as open as it once was. To me, this is a dark chapter in the Internet's present and future that I'd love to see an end to.
