Automatic watch list from browsing DarkWeb?

Was just told that if you browse the DarkWeb you are automatically put on a watchlist. Wondering if this is true, how true is it. Of course I use Tails m, so would this even apply to me? And if it is true why aren't we all in jail right now?

Because reading information on the internet is not illegal. I come here for the LOLs on my main Reddit account using my permanent Windows system. I am not worried in the least.

What is this?

unless im mistaken, really as long as you use TOR nobody should be able to see what websites you have visited without probably getting very very technical.

and its not true, who told you this and where did that person see this?

Not true TOR is completely infiltrated w spooks. Proceed with acute caution.

I read in one of the Snowden documents that one of the NSA programs were focused on people that searched for Tor or encryption related stuff, in order to prepare lists for future snooping so to say. Not sure how prevalent they are in the US, but if you live in Turkey or China then you might want to get a VPN before you even google sh*t.

There may be something to this:

For this reason, you may want to consider using a VPN before tor from a competent, privacy-oriented VPN provider.

Snowden showed us that they are trying and perhaps succeeding in deanonymizing some if not most TOR users. It's currently believed there are at least 2 NSA tor deanonymization exploits. Their own documents say they'll never be able to deanonymize every tor user, and they probably can't use the evidence collected via these methods in any courtroom, though FBI and DEA have access to at least limited NSA intercept data, and complete access to metadata:
