>TOREXIT No it's not a list of exits but a list of ALL Tor relays. Please don't use this there is an official list [0] just use that if you need to. Maybe the others are better maintained but this leaves a very bad impression. >AS397702 1776 Solutions Nice virtue signaling. This list is described as opionated so I guess it's fine.

What exactly is virtue signalling about blocking 1776 Solutions? Should I know them?

  It’s operated by Joshua Moon, the owner of Kiwi Farms. It has been the target of deplatforming by various services and Tier-1 ISPs.

  They host and defend an alt-right forum famous for harassing, doxxing, stalking and swatting people. They've been celebrating mass-shooters, and trying to drive transgender people to suicide. The guy who runs this defends this as "free speech".

It is described as opinionated but is introduced with "they need to be blocked by default." The idea that you need to block entire ASNs from your network based on the content some of their IPs host is ridiculous. Imagine banning an entire apartment block from entering your store based on the opinions some of the tenants hold. Using arbitrary lists like these devalues small, independent companies in favor of large corporations that are too big to be blacklisted. A requirement to police content disproportionately burdens smaller service providers, while mega corps essentially get to dictate what is allowed because no one dares to lock them out. I cannot support far-right values like these.

  I've just checked his blacklist against the BADASN list. Less than 30 IPs of the 6862 IPs on the IPBL list are from those BADASNs. On the other hand Cogent has over 700, Amazon over 600 and Microsoft over 200.

    Which makes the insinuation that those ASNs "need" to be blocked even more ridiculous.
