Re: [tor-relays] Webtropia threatening with penalty of 5.100â
Hey spriver,
isn't webtropia is a subcompany of myloc? at least their tos state
something like that. While editing the good/bad isp wiki page I just saw
that kafkane wrote the following about myloc:
"all traffic that is "not contrary to applicable German law" is allowed.
already hosts a few exits, lots of relays" (27/10/2015)
and references a twitter comment (in german):
https://twitter.com/myLocmanagedIT/status/658506641206210560
maybe this statement can be usefull...
