More government censorship and blocking of websites has forced the BBC to launch news in what is known as the dark web. With a regular web browser, you won't have BBC news at all, you will have to use the Tor browser on your PC or smartphone.

Tor is able to hide your location and allows you to access dark web content that is otherwise hidden to the average user. BBC news can be found at bbcnewsv2vjtpsuy.onion - you can try but this address will not work in a normal web browser. It should be noted, that the Brave browser also has a built-in Tor.

The BBC emphasizes that all content on this site is uncensored and that national governments will not have access to censorship of this content. You can also find BBC Arabic, BBC Persian and BBC Russian, as well as people in China, Iran, Vietnam and beyond to stay up to date with world news.

So whats next? Maybe all news and other sites starts to move to the dark web?
