 Replying to [comment:134 lunar]:
 > If I understood correctly, this chart show individual Tor exit nodes who
 have been spotted doing at least one of the “abuse” you describe earlier.
 If that's correct, then it's just totally meaningless data. Tor users can
 control which exit node they use. So this could just be a **single** Tor
 user doing a **single** attempt at SQL injection repeatedly over
 **different exit nodes**.

 No, this data is only for Tor exit nodes that are comment spamming. It's
 not "one person did a bad thing once on an exit node".

 > Please stop framing this as “''Tor traffic is 90% abuse''”. This is not
 what these numbers are telling us.

 I never said that. Don't put words in my mouth.
