Simply because a user, given an onion service address, naïvely decides to use
one of your Tor2Web nodes, it is unacceptable that your Tor2Web node crawls
said onion service simply because it didn't "opt out" of your historically
malicious desires to harvest data on Tor users and operators.  Consent is not
the absence of saying "no" — it is explicitly saying "yes".
