Comment(by mikeperry):

 Do we want to automatically BadExit all nodes running upstream
 transproxies? They can also be used for caching to try to improve
 performance, or may just be present at the upstream ISP. My old University
 used to run an upstream caching proxy...

 We already do detect censorship of exploit info by AV systems. We can try
 to focus this by running an exit scanner specifically scraping computer
 security and exploit related search queries. That would probably get
 anyone running a dumb IDS censor like snort.
