I love me some privacy but have always been skeptical of Tor because I am afraid that I am acting as a relay for CSAM, which, even if encrypted I am not okay with.

Is that fear unfounded? To be honest I don’t really know how Tor works aside from some broad strokes.

In which country? In most countries you just have to send LE a boilerplate email saying your run a Tor node and they'll leave you alone.

Austria was the country. There is a few wrinkles here. They found cp on one of the hard drives, they had text logs of him offering to host cp on a server, and in the end he was sentenced to 3 years probation.

Well, that explains everything. It's not the Tor node, it's that he was offering to host it.

It certainly does!

So it sounds like he wasn't just relaying it then...

It's always double edge. Don't you have anything to hide? Who need end to end encryption apart of pedos and terrorists? If you really want 100% security, then just give up 100% of your freedom.

I love this! I'm going to contact my local uni's tech dept to see if that's something they'd be interested in participating in if they're not already.
