Not even close. PayPal, Twitter, Facebook, Discord, etc. all insta-ban or lock your account if you come from a low reputation IP.

These services make it impossible to participate online without giving big tech your identity. IMO they’re worse than everyone else combined because they play a critical role in helping all tech companies discriminate against people that want privacy.

Pretty much this.

Actually they ban your account and want you to upload ypur ID.

The weirdest thing was that Facebook a while ago had an onion adress too (presumably so that people from repressive regimes could access it). But if you'd use Tor to access them using the regular web: insta-ban.
