Is it *really* a good idea to poke OVH over this?

Basically it's trying to imply that running Tor should be OK, but running Tor
"improperly" (per your own specific definitions and rules) should be illegal in
their ToS.

I feel this can backfire in a bad way, i.e. rather than spend resources to
educate all staff on what "Tor" is, what "ContactInfo" is, is it actually an
issue, then track down and warn all the clients which don't comply, surely it
is easier to ban all this "Tor" entirely?

(Not to mention free up a huge chunk of bandwidth in the process).
