I run into this all the time whilst proselytizing for Tor, as for
example at a local non-profit makerspace recently. "Kiddie porn! FBI
raids!" was the hue and cry, whereupon people's brains shut down. But
this is very much a public relations issue, not a legal issue, assuming
that you have the prerequisite legal boilerplate in place. You do have
to be loaded for bear to run an exit and mind your p's and q's; I myself
am currently running an exit under the aegis of Zwiebelfreunde (Friends
of the Onion) in Germany, as they take care of the technical and legal
overhead & catch whatever flak comes its way.
