Big deal. even onion.to crawled all of them all (or to be more accurate gave Google the option to crawl them and index them)

This is deep web in the original sense of the term, not our sense.
Naturally, the government trying to pry into every nook and cranny of the internet is a loaded topic right now. But the defense agency claimed, for what it's worth, that while it's sniffing around the deep web it's not trying to out any anonymous users or spy on anyone. It states it's "specifically not interested in proposals for the following: attributing anonymous services deanonymizing or attributing identity to servers or IP addresses, or gaining access to information which is not intended to be publicly available." But exactly how the DoD plans to bust sex traffickers in the hidden web without deanonymizing users or identifying IP addresses, you’ve got me.
If you don't think the NSA has a catalog of the majority of the deepweb already you are naive.
