This is the common 'common carrier' exception. And I don't think
it is unreasonable to say that the EFF, in particular, and EPIC, ACLU,
etc, are in fact, said organizations. Nor would it be unreasonable to
ping your interests in becoming an exit relay past them beforehand.
They have publicly stated that, were an operator to be running a relay,
and be having a 'clean' life upon the date of the relay's inception, they
would be quite interested in evaluating any case brought against
such operator. That is very laudable and one worth looking into,
especially, and presumably so, if you can provide an independant
corporate housing for such service.
