Ddos would be automated and it is done explicitly for the reason of de-anonymizing users. So data brokers can collect and transmit the content of these messages, the whole of the internet went out of their control and they’ve been doing a massive cya operation by shuffling blame to the users for any mistakes.

ddos has nothing to do with de-anonymizing users. What it does is eat up the bandwidth so no one can access the website. It doesn't grant any access to anything

I know, they are forcing your hand at blocking tor ranges (ddos) in an effort to deanonymize users via cloud flare, since with tor - it makes access more difficult.

I wouldn't even be surprised if CloudFlare is actually who's doing it.
