Takedowns and efnet abuse and wikipedia complaints and irc
networks.
This is potentially a bigger problem than it may appear.
On the one hand, if people want to refuse connections from you on
their servers it would seem that they should be allowed to. But, a
possible major problem with the blocking of Tor is that it's not just
the decision of the individual server administrator whose deciding if
he wants to post to wikipedia from his Tor node address or allow
people to read wikipedia anonymously through his Tor node. If e.g.,
s/he comes through a campus or corporate NAT, then the decision must
be to have the entire population behind it able to have a Tor exit
node or write access to wikipedia. This is a loss for both of us (Tor
and wikipedia). We don't want to compete for (or divvy up) the NAT
protected entities of the world.
Squishy IP based ``authentication'' and ``authorization'' is a reality
we must contend with. We should say something more about the analogy
with SSNs.
