Is opening .onion links on normal web browser illegal? PS-what will happen if one opens it by mistake?

There's no reason for you to fear it,it's main use is its anonimity. The fact that some people abuse this characteristic and use it in bad ways has nothing to do with deep web in general.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
