Policy on linking dangerous research
1: Relevance: Posts must be directly relevant to investigation of Pizzagate: the sexual/physical abuse and/or murder of children by elites, child trafficking organized by elites, and/or cover-up of these activities and/or the protection/assistance provided to the people who engage in said activities. See definition of Pizzagate and examples of relevant posts.
2: Empiricism: EACH factual claim that is not common knowledge must be sourced with a link. If you ask a question: Explain what led to your question and provide sources. If you present opinion/argument, connect your dots and provide sources for them. Avoid baseless speculation. ALL posts must include at least one link.
3: Clarity: All titles must adequately describe post content and must establish direct relevance to pizzagate. EACH link in your post must include a description of content and how the link relates to the post (except when markup is used to embed links in the specific text they support).
4: Meta submissions and general discussion submissions without sources will be removed. Please submit indirectly relevant posts to /v/pizzagatewhatever and unsourced questions to /v/AskPizzagate. Sourced activism / publicity posts and memes are allowed. Posts about the subverse itself go to /v/pizzagatemods.
5: You must label NSFW posts (“Not safe for work”; for example gore, nudity etc.) as such when submitting.
6: No Link Posts -- Only editable submissions made with the "Discuss" button are allowed. "Link" submissions have been banned by the community for the reasons described here. Link posts will be immediately removed.
Adspam, illegal content, and personal info about Voat subscribers will be removed, and the offender will be banned.

Well yes, of course you can use DDG while using Tor. The thing is, normal search engines use software, called crawlers, that searches for website indices. AFAIK websites can put up their own indices so that they can be found and indexed by search engines, which is handy because people can find you easier. .onion and other deep web sites do not do this. If you don't place an index on your site, crawlers can't pick it up and your site can't be indexed. That's the whole idea of the deep web, a bunch of sites that are not indexed, so they're harder to find.
Unless DDG employs a system that can index websites without indices (which is possible, there are some deep web search engines) you won't be able to search for those sites. Unless they willingly put up indices. I think the deep web wiki does this. From the wiki you can visit a variety of sites, including markets.
Though tbh, I think the really hardcore places wouldn't be just accessible by Tor. Sites could be password protected or using some other protocols besides Tor that require proper software to handle said protocols.
