According to an FBI affidavit among the unsealed documents:

In the normal course of the operation of a web site, a user sends
"request data" to the web site in order to access that site. While
Websites 1-23 operate at a government facility, such request data
associated with a user's actions on Websites 1-23 will be collected.
That data collection is not a function of the NIT. Such request data
can be paired with data collected by the NIT, however, in order to
attempt to identify a particular user and to determine that particular
user's actions on Websites 1-23.


It's to be expected that all variety of snakes inhabit darkwebs.
