Hi AJ,
not sure if anyone's brought this up, but you may want to look at:
https://libraryfreedomproject.org/
" Library Freedom Project is a partnership among librarians, technologists, attorneys, and privacy advocates which aims to address the problems of surveillance by making real the promise of intellectual freedom in libraries. By teaching librarians about surveillance threats, privacy rights and responsibilities, and digital tools to stop surveillance, we hope to create a privacy-centric paradigm shift in libraries and the communities they serve."
In practice as I understand it this in large part involves Libraries running Tor exits to facilitate their privacy and education goals.
