Oh, and I'm also wondering about redundancy. If I run a Tor node in
Germany is it the case that I have to log, AND my ISP has to log, AND
their colo provider has to log, AND the upstream ISP has to log, AND the
IX has to log all the same data? Is there any division of
responsibility? Or will there be like 5-10 copies of the same
connection data floating around everywhere?
