"deep web/dark web is the other 80% of the internet that search engines like google don't/can't crawl. it's like the ghetto of the internet and you can buy anything there from drugs to assassins. it's really dangerous apparently so you have to use a browser like tor to browse it"
You're mixing two different things under the same term here. Deep web is parts of the web that are not indexed which could be anything from old geocities pages or parts of sites a search engine can't get to. This does make up a high % of the internet.
The anonymous assassin market/drug/illegal net we're talking about here isn't actually the "deep web" it's just what people have started calling it after a gawker article last week. it's more like a dark net/freenet so no it doesn't make up 80% of the web, probably more like 0.00001%
