When people are switched over to Tor without their informed enthusiastic
consent, they are likely in for disappointment and you are in for a lot
of tech support calls.  Some websites will be blocked and most of their
internet use will be much slower than they are accustomed to.  They
might even call the ISP and find out the hard way what happened.  It
could backfire and turn them against Tor and break their trust in you.
