The security check captchas are in no way Tor-specific.

The shared Tor IP happens to have a threat score based on past traffic we've seen from that IP. This would be the same for any shared IP though -- like a VPN service IP address.

As other folks have mentioned, we're working on better handling for shared IPs in general, but to make this clear: this in no way has anything to do specifically with Tor users.
