I think reading information using Tor should never be disableable. Adding an option to disable it is encouraging people to remove the freedom for people to read texts anonymously. How is that a feature? It's an even more serious issue than censorship, because it's attempting to force people who use Tor into ignorance.
As for writing to the site (POST), the option should be labeled "censor users in oppressed regimes". That might give it enough emotional weighting.
My solution would be to not block Tor by default, instead let your clients do that if and only if they want to block it. Or, at least, let them make an informed decision when setting up the account instead of a default choice.
