Remember, that figure (20TB) was from 1997,
13 years ago.
The web's content has grown by literally orders of magnitude since then.
BTW, being something of a proper-English nut, I hate it when people use the terms "literally" and "order of magnitude" improperly. But the above is indeed true (at least 10^2), so I'll take the grammar risk.
If the google quote is right, 5,000,000,000 TB, then even my statement falls short by many orders of magnitude.

Maybe I missed something, but how do these search engines access private networks?

How much of that is porn, pirated movies and left wing blather? Makes you wonder if this whole interweb thing was a good idea.

Interesting, but the phrase is ‘mother lode’, not ‘load’.

How much of that is porn, pirated movies and left wing blather? Makes you wonder if this whole interweb thing was a good idea. My own estimate:
- Porn: 15% of the content, 49% of the bandwidth
- Movies and music: 80% of the content, 49% of the bandwidth
- Everything else: 5% of the content, 2% of the bandwidth
And then consider that in the case of the porn and movies and music, those figures represent hundreds if not thousands of duplicate copies of the same content, just in different places.
With regard to left-wing blather, it's actually not that bad. Right-wing blather has it beat hands down. :) The left may own the broadcast/cable networks, but the right owns the blogosphere and the forums.
There's no political site in the world that can touch FreeRepublic.com. I love the web.

It wouldn’t surprise me if most of the Deep Net turned out to be LOLcats stored on private drives.

Put up a thread after you have checked them all out.
I checked all ten and there is only one I would look twice at.
