I have three DigitalOcean VMs. One in Amsterdam is a (non-exit)
relay (https://baldric.net/2013/01/13/what-a-difference-a-gig-makes/),
the other two, in SanFrancisco and NYC, are tails mirrors. /Before/
starting the tor relay I specifically asked DO if they had any problems
with tor. They told me much what they have apparently told you.
Certainly I gained the impression that they would not be happy if
their IP addresses appeared in abuse complaints.
(https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/tor) I followed up
that conversation in a support ticket and they have been fine with me
running a relay ever since.

Tor is neutral. You and I may agree that certain usage is unwelcome,
even abhorrent, but we cannot dictate how others may use an anonymising
service we agree to provide. If you have a problem with that, you
probably should not be running a tor node.
