Accidentally stumbled across illegal websites
21-May-2023 (In Cyber Crime Law)
I was conducting a personal research on cyber anonymity which required me to browse the deep web through TOR. I came across a link list on a website and started visiting the links there. The first 20-30 links were normal websites like social media and news. Then I came across websites that hosted illegal and immoral things like child pornography, selling drugs and guns, etc. I had no intention to visit these websites and accidentally stumbled upon them during research. Did I commit a crime? And is it worth it to report those websites through Cyber Crime portal?
Well, visiting Dark Web in itself is not a Crime. But those visiting Dark Web often , Govt keeps a tab of those people. At times, you have to give proper explanation before any Cyber Branch Police Official. Better you should avoid browsing Dark Web. As Criminals, Drug Peddlers, Pornographers access Dark Web for indulging in illegal activities and Police access Dark Web to nab them

Google searches are not illegal, but if they harm someone or break any laws then you will be punished. Youtubers may have said that this search was illegal, but searches were legal. They are talking trash.
What happens if you accidentally searched something illegal?
Prosecutors can use your search history to determine whether you searched something by accident. Accidental searches do not constitute a crime, but investigations can make mistakes. You need to hire an attorney that is familiar with the laws governing child pornography in your state. 29-Oct-2018
