I'm skeptical even those services properly inform users about the risks and downsides. I also suspect those services turn a blind eye to resellers violating their consent policies

Alternatively, the users are well aware and embrace the plausible deniability it lends their own traffic.

    I think the experiences of people operating open relays suggest that would be a foolish assumption.

    If you tell a police search team you have plausible deniability they will seize all your tech and investigate you. If you're actually guilty there's a decent chance there will be other incriminating evidence. If you're innocent this will be unpleasant, expensive, and they might end up finding what they think is evidence against you anyway
