Re: [tor-talk] Legal or not on monitoring traffic at a Tor exit?

[Xinwen Fu <xinwenfu@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm just asking the legal liability of running Tor exits and making it clear. I don't bother with modifying somebody's traffic. 

Basically, you are saying once we run exits, the computers are not our own computers any more: 

Tor exit operators == ISP, from the perspective of laws.

What if somebody attacks my computer running a Tor exit via Tor? I have to call police since I cannot check the content of the attack traffic?

This is in the FAQ.

Don't confuse capability with legality.  You should expect the same
laws which make it unlawful for your ISP to do these things make it
unlawful for exit operators.
