You're speaking to the choir here, I even donate to the Tor project and think it's an essential human right. I'm just offering a sys admin perspective. For them, it's an easy one click option to block a lot of malicious connections. If their job is to protect a network, it makes sense.
The problem with their job is not being defined as protecting the network while at the same time ensuring availability to legit users. When the naïve sys admin excludes legit users, there’s no push back. No one protesting. Most people are incompetent and it’s normal for sys admins to be reckless in their blocking. The problem lack of counter actions. EFF’s silence & inaction is deafening. EFF & Tor Project are extremely close, yet EFF makes no mention of Cloudflare when CF should be at the center of EFF’s criticism. Tor Project pulled back on Cloudflare criticism after Jacob Appelbaum left. TP has deleted many of their anti-cloudflare essays & resources. CF is the most absolute nemesis to TP yet TP has neutered themselves.
