So... don't tell you the truth, because you've already decided that a bunch of anonymous people are "bad".
Have you ever considered a career in law enforcement or politics?
- andoon 9y agoWhat's the truth? Most websites require you to fill a captcha, confirm your mobile number, or simply block you if you happen to use the service from a Tor exit. That's something you can check yourself, go to the big sites (Alexa top for example), and see it. Even Hacker News shows you a captcha if you register from Tor. Do you believe those sites are in some kind of major plot to bother Tor users, or they simply are fed up with the abuse coming from Tor? Ockham's razor.

- int_19h 9y agoAre you talking about most websites worldwide, or most websites in US specifically, or the West in general? Because if it's the latter, then your sample suffers from rather extreme selection bias.
