How to read the visualization
On the Y axis there is the size of the page in bytes, while the X axis shows the date, from the creation of the two pages.
How it has been done
Chosen our two main pages, Deep Web and Tor (anonymity network), and scraped the whole History of the two pages using Kimono and Wikipedia2geo, we made a visualization of the size of the two pages in relation to time since creation using Excel.
Findings
Both pages have been the subject of numerous acts of vandalism, but the Deep Web one in the last five years has been much more under attack, often revealing the fears generated by the ignorance of people (perceptible through their aggressiveness and the comments left). The page Tor (anonymity network), however, in the last five years has grown more and more quickly, revealing a stronger interest and preparation of the people on the subject.
