After Paris, ISIS Moves Propaganda Machine To Darknet (csoonline.com)
itwbennett writes: Over the weekend, researcher Scot Terban came across the new website of Al-Hayat Media Center, the media division of Daesh (aka ISIS/ISIL), in a post on Shamikh forum (a known jihadi bulletin board), 'someone had posted the new address and instructions for reaching it,' writes CSO's Steve Ragan. The website hosts the usual anti-Western iconography, as well as songs (Nasheeds) and poems for mujahids in various locations. Terban has mirrored the website and its files; he says he plans to publish more details in the coming days.

Your hair look like poop, Bob! - Wanker.
I think it's just a term used by morons that don't know how the Internet works.
It could mean any or all of the following:
- Sites that aren't Facebook, Twitter, Google, or YouTube, and therefore, aren't as visible.
- Sites that don't get indexed on Google and therefore aren't as visible.
- Sites that don't have a DNS name and therefore aren't as visible.
- Geo-shitties sites with a black background. It's DARK on the DARKnet. Duh.
So basically, sites that aren't easily found by the masses. That's "the darknet" or "the dark web" or whatever some dumbass wants to call it.
