It's not quite so simple. A tool that can protect privacy and provide security can be used to take privacy and security away from someone else. For example doxxing someone on a hidden service protects the doxxer's privacy but removes the target's privacy.

I'm not trying to make a moral judgement about Tor. I just feel it's important to acknowledge the best way to protect privacy is not always obvious and is rarely if ever simple.

I had to ban all Tor exit node IP's from my service because of a single bad actor causing problems for a large group of people on a small service I maintain.

Coincidentally Cloudflare often blocks them as well: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/203306930-D...

Honestly, I should probably use Cloudflare but this is a negative-profit venture and it's likely not worth the cost.
