Tor traffic is not necessarily vicious traffic...
Probably some govt somewhere:
"Protests are malicious. Dissent is illegal. Free-thought/expression is dangerous"
If 94% of traffic from a given source is malicious, and I don't have a good way of differentiating the 6% that is good, I might just end up blocking 100% to keep my site stable.
Just another example of bad actors making it so we can't have nice things.
