Hi, FYI (both only in German): https://network23.org/blackoutaustria/2014/07/01/to-whom-it-my-concern/ (via https://blog.fefe.de/?ts=ad4dd623) (I'm not familiar with the language of law, just try to summarize it to inform you; maybe someone else could translate it more accurately...) A court in Austria ruled that one can be held liable to prosecution for operating a Tor Exit [but likely also Middle] Node, when it is used by someone to commit a criminal action. The judge justifies the decision by Â12 of the penal code: "Not only the direct perpetrator commits a criminal action, but also everyone who appoints someone else to commit it or otherwise adds to its execution." what a sad and poor decision :( To cite (and roughly translate) Fefe: "As a precaution, Austrians should stop operating communication infrastructure like Jabber, email, and web servers with comment or upload functionality, or telephones and fax machines. If I [Fefe] were the post, I [Fefe] would stop operations, too." ~flapflap
