Why are "tor", "vpn", "iCloud relay", and "datacenter" considered threats?

If you wanted to send spam, or run an attack, you’d want to run your traffico via tor or a vpn to hide your home or office IP. Not sure why iCloud relay would be a problem.

isn't icloud relay just a vpn?

It's an Apple VPN, which makes it special since you usually don't want to piss off Apple/iOS users with "anti-bot" crap.

I don’t understand what this is or what the reputation really is. The site talks about threat intelligence and other marketing phrases. I hope I didn’t just give my IP to the site to just add to their database to show to their investors or worse data mine me somehow.

Almost entirely children.

There were 73 million children in the U.S. in 2019—22 percent of our nation's population.
