"The intellectual dark web (IDW) is a neologism coined by American mathematician Eric Weinstein, and popularized in a 2018 editorial by Bari Weiss. The term refers to a group of public personalities who oppose what they see as the dominance of progressive identity politics and political correctness in the media and academia."

Seems like the conventional usage of the term "Dark Web" predates your usage, and is more relevant given that we're on a tech forum.
