New description:

 We often see complaints by users that large sites are blocking Tor
 outright or are making it
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/33457 very hard to
 access] them. We should try to find contacts at those sites that are
 generally Tor-friendly and with whom we could try to resolve or mitigate
 the problems that led to Tor blocking in the first place.

 It's worth to not just focus on site owners as they often "just" deploy
 things and the actual blocking is done by entities in the middle, like
 Akamai or Cloudflare, or it is enabled in the first place by (random) Tor
 nodes added to a blocklist by entities that are curating those. Thus, it
 is worth reaching out to those groups as well.

 This ticket is a parent ticket and we should file child tickets for
 particular sites/parties we want to reach out to.
