That is some site owner that has configured Cloudflare to block you. It's the same thing as an establishment hiring security guards to block access.

That is some site owner who wanted free cdn/ddos protection, accepted the default settings, and has no way of knowing which the blocked users are blocked wrongly.

I used to use cloudflare on my static website and I had no idea I was blocking all tor users until someone on HN let me know.

Cancer is too strong a word though. It’s more like a bad case of jock itch IMHO.
