I believe lemon party is.
It's not like you can't google it and then get straight there. Clicking onto the website and waiting for 2 hours is just the first step.
Does the "deep web" really exist?

This is the one, isn't it.

This is all about .onion sites. You can only access those with Tor? Or am I wrong in that?
Yeah, only with Tor as far as I know.
Yes it exists. This is nothing new - Freenet has been around since the late 90s or so.
.onion sites are accessible only through TOR, and are only one tiny fraction of the 'deep web'.
I used to go on the occasional darknet years back because I was interested in the security behind them and how they were set out. I stopped after a while because most of the people who hang out on them are either doing something highly illegal or are extremely paranoid (to the point of psychosis sometimes).
A lot of piracy and illegal pornography originates from the deep web.

There is no one entity that exists as the "deep web", but theres lots of stuff on the internet that isn't immediatly publicly available. Quite a lot of virtualised networks that run on top of TCP/UDP and even some that work from lower level protocols, the content only available to people running the appropriate client software, I believe theres even covert stuff that runs purely hidden inside low level routing protocols.
An IRC network I used to use years ago had its own covert VPN hidden beneath the normal IRC traffic, started up innocuous enough but before long as above it was being used more and more for highly illegal stuff and/or very disturbed people.

Has TOR found any way round the problem that although no one can trace you back the exit node you choose has full access to all the data flowing through it.
Are you supposed to run an ssl proxy through TOR or something?
No, tor provides anonymity not confidentiality. So unless you use a secure protocol like https, SSL or tls then the exit node can read packets because they have to go out on the internet as plaintext. It's not really a tor problem, more something at the application layer.
So say you are some free speech activist in China, you'll need to go through an ssl enabled proxy or vpn after going through TOR in case you post on websites without ssl?
Of course the chance that the exit node operator has connections to the Chinese security service is very small but you never know..
then again they may just drag you off for using TOR in the first place
