Статистика использования даркнета показывает устойчивый рост числа пользователей по всему миру. По данным проекта Tor, ежедневное количество подключений к сети составляет несколько миллионов человек. Эта аудитория неоднородна и включает в себя как тех, кто ищет нелегальные товары и услуги, так и тех, кто стремится защитить свою частную жизнь и свободу слова. Согласно исследованиям, посвященным стабильности onion-ресурсов, средний срок жизни .onion-адреса может быть невелик, что обусловлено техническими и организационными причинами. Данные показывают, что вопрос, сколько времени работает официальное зеркало ресурса, становится все более актуальным для пользователей, нуждающихся в постоянном доступе. Крупные платформы решают эту проблему, поддерживая одновременно десятки активных зеркал и постоянно обновляя их список через доверенные каналы. Анализ показывает, что около 50-60% контента в даркнете является легальным и направлено на обеспечение приватности, обход цензуры и безопасное общение, что опровергает распространенное мнение о его исключительно криминальной направленности.
