Abstract

This research has as main objective the study of the following questions: How is access to information in the Deep Web ? What are the motivations of individuals to escape exposure by browsing on websites not indexed by conventional search engines? What strategies are used to circumvent surveillance and preserve network anonymity? A bibliographic review is carried out covering concepts related to the history of the internet, web 2.0, virtual communities, cryptography and surveillance in the network. In addition, discussions are brought about the duality of anonymity and informational content within the deep web . In relation to the methodology, an exploratory qualitative research is developed in which the interview was used as data collection until the saturation of the answers and the technique of content analysis. It is concluded that the factors that exert the influence of the users to the use of the deep web are the anonymity as a way to protect against the vigilance and the dangers of the network during navigation and also the content found there that, often is not found on the Surface Web.
