100% of the bad traffic to my servers comes from TOR. Not all IPs are equal, some aren’t playing nice. Cloudflare makes it so I don’t have to worry about it.

  That's how responsibility is shifted always to the next person or institution. You make your life simple by saying "Cloudflare makes that decision." Cloudflare says "We are merely offering a service here! You don't have to use it, if you think it's wrong." And ISPs say (or should say): "We are here to sell Internet access, not to watch what everyone on the Internet." and may by law not be allowed to look into the traffic. In the end the user suffers and is discriminated against and no one wants to be responsible. I would take the position, that each person, who uses Cloudflare, has to live with being responsible for whatever Cloudflare imposes upon users / visitors. The mass of people using Cloudflare services makes the difference. Each person using it adds a little bit to it. It is a collective responsibility.

    Then what’s the alternative? If I don’t use a service like Cloudflare I have to invest a lot of time and money into making sure my servers accept the traffic I want and reject the traffic I don’t. This isn’t an ethics dilemma, bad actors wreck a lot of innocent people’s lives all the time it wasn’t going to stop on the internet.

      The alternative is simple - ban tor ips entirely as it’s not worth the hassle.
