How over 300 Tor exit nodes got removed

Original: How I got over 300 Tor exit nodes removed

An engineer describes how more than 300 Tor exit relays were taken offline, detailing the process behind getting the nodes delisted. The write-up explains which abuse reports or hosting policies were invoked and what the removal means for Tor network capacity. Readers are debating whether the takedown strengthens network hygiene or undermines decentralisation and censorship resistance.

Why now: The scale of removing hundreds of exit nodes at once raises concerns about Tor network health and the power of abuse-report mechanisms.
