Tough to trace the actual traffic if someone is using Tor, but I would imagine the concern is as much about the amount of traffic happening on the SSL side, and creating bottlenecks as it is about the fact that Tor, HSS or other services can be used to access content that would usually be restricted.
There is a specific process in place to deal with someone who goes to websites against community guidelines, even if there is no official guideline, but we're talking about 50 colonies who are on the HBNI, with average of 75 people on each colony. That would be the possibility of over 3500 users. I cut it back to 2000 because not everyone uses the internet. Unless someone is caught in the act, by either the network administrator at that specific community, or anyone else, it is virtually impossible to trace the traffic beyond what colony it is happening at.
And outside of the core people who look after the HBNI network itself, not every community has someone who can actively monitor their own networks. Either because of time constraints, or because they don't know much about it.
Because there is so much going on at a larger community, especially with these specific colonies who are heavily into manufacturing, it is impossible to keep check on what every single member is doing at all times. So a large level of a trust is placed upon those people who have a drivers license, or a responsibility that provides them with the opportunity of perhaps going to the store and buying objectionable content.
