We are working to fix that. It's not trivial because there are many bad Tor users and we don't want to just 'whitelist' Tor otherwise it'll make Tor more attractive for bad folks.

"Supporting everyone means that all CloudFlare sites are accessible to everyone who uses the web"

Your goal is to support everyone from a technological perspective but also profile everyone to block anyone AI deems "bad". Somehow I don't think the creators of the web envisioned a single corporation acting as a gatekeeper and judge of moral character on such a pervasive scale in this way.

Then it's not "for everyone", is it?

Bad actors should have their rights taken away. That's just normal society and has been for thousands of years.

Now, pre-crime is what's going on here, and that's not going to end well.

I don't think it's particularly hyperbolic to say "everyone" even if you actually don't mean to include people who are trying to harm you. That's generally assumed.
